The GHA is recognising academic and vocational achievements on this very special occasion for all those who have undertaken and been successful in achieving their endeavours. This is not just a celebration of individual, personal achievement but it also recognises contributions made by the staff, the School of Health Studies and the GHA as a whole.
The School of Health Studies is at the heart of health care provision in Gibraltar. It offers health care education to a variety of staff in a number of health care settings providing high quality education that is delivered locally. This is an important part of the GHA strategy that strives to generate greater focus towards improving patient care which is sensitive to the needs of our community, driven by a strong sense of vocation that aims to provide patients with the highest standards of care.
Commenting on the event, Minister for Health Dr John Cortes said, "We are delighted to make these awards and in so doing celebrate and recognise the achievements of GHA staff. I am particularly pleased that Gibraltar is once again training and recognising Enrolled Nurses, something that this Government introduced last year after many years’ absence. This has provided an opportunity for nurses to progress locally at all levels. Ultimately all these initiatives will lead to greater job satisfaction and improved patient care.”
