The hard work and commitment of each one of our staff, and the pride they all take in caring for our patients, is what makes Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust one of the best Trusts.  We encourage all our staff to exceed expectations so that our patients and visitors receive the best possible service and care. If you have been particularly impressed by a member of staff or team, then why not nominate them for a STAR award.
