Our 2024 KITE Colleague Recognition Awards took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel Durham on Friday 7 March 2025 with over 200 guests attending the evening to recognise our colleagues achievements.
We also celebrated our Long Service Award winners who had achieved 25, 30, 35, 40 or 50 years NHS service – a combined total of 5,875 years of hard work, dedication and outstanding care between them!
Finally, our Making a Difference Awards of the Quarter acknowledged those people who embody our KITE values of kindness, integrity, teamwork and equality.
Well done to all our nominees and winners – HDFT just wouldn’t be the same without you and your amazing dedication to the NHS and the people in our community.
