Portsmouth City Council has hailed our mortuary team as one of the city’s pandemic heroes in a special awards ceremony.
In recognition of their hard work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the team, based at Queen Alexandra Hospital, were presented with a Coronavirus Civic Award.
The council received over 120 nominations for the awards and 10, chosen by an independent panel of representatives, were presented with a certificate and a medal from Lord Mayor, Councillor Frank Jonas.
Senior anatomical pathology technician John Shave said: “As a team we are extremely proud to have won this award in recognition of all our hard work and dedication during the COVID pandemic.”
“We would like to thank Portsmouth City Council for honouring us with this award.”
Lord Mayor, Councillor Frank Jonas said: “This year the civic awards focus on those who have significantly contributed to the city during the pandemic.
“Each person, business or group recognised has made a huge difference to people in the city during this incredibly challenging time. Some are well known in Portsmouth, while others have made a quieter, but nonetheless significant contribution.
“They have all gone above and beyond their usual job or volunteering role to keep critical services going and support the most vulnerable people in our community, as well as those who have fallen ill with coronavirus.
“On behalf of the people of Portsmouth, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you."
Congratulations to all the winners!
