The Proud2bOps network at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has won two awards at the first ever Proud2bOps Awards.

Hosted at the annual Proud2bOps Congress on Tuesday 5 November, Bolton won the Proud2bOps @Trust Network of the Year award for raising the profile of operations in their organisation and sustaining a network for the future development of professionals.

The Trust’s Director of Operations, Michelle Cox, also picked up the award for Operational Role Model of the Year.

Michelle said:

We were the first Trust in the UK to launch our very own Proud2bOps@ network in 2023, bringing staff together to make sure operational voices are heard and that our profile is raised for the benefit of our local communities.

“It’s fantastic to see all of our hard work being formally recognised. Our operational leaders are the backbone of the organisation by supporting clinical colleagues to provide the very best patient care.

“I’m so proud of what we have been able to achieve within the first couple of years to develop skill sets and seeing how we can continually improve our services.
