Hospital award given to Intensive Care housekeepers

Housekeeper Sonia Soares and Housekeeping team leader Vita Norbrega from the Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) at Eastbourne District General Hospital are this month's staff award winners.

A staff nurse on the unit who nominated them said, "They have done so much cleaning, not just one, two, three cleaning but marvellous deep cleaning on our unit. I wouldn't be surprised if we will have zero rates on MRSA or any Health Acquired infections in the future. I am sure all Intensive Therapy Unit staff will all be pleased if they win the monthly award."

Stuart Barnhill Assistant Facilities Director said, "Sonia Soares work is excellent. Vita is the ward co-ordinator leading the team with the new work schedules. It is mainly down to these two that standards are so consistently high."
