Hidden Heroes South of England Procurement Service

Melloney Poole OBE, Chairman of Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust is keen to recognise teams who are going above and beyond the requirements of their ‘day jobs’ and are in an often unseen but crucial area of the hospital. These are the people who are committed and passionate, who go about their job in a professional manner, giving their support generously to those around them and who may often be the last people to broadcast their successes.

On Friday 13th July Melloney was thrilled to visit The South of England Procurement Team at Hedge End to learn about the team, their challenges and successes, the individual team members and how the service they provide is vital to the safe and efficient running of our hospital. Melloney was impressed with the way the team come together to solve problems and the way they worked collaboratively to develop and implement innovative and money saving solutions. Melloney was delighted to recognise the Procurement Team as Hidden Heroes for their accomplishments, professionalism and continuous improvement by presenting a certificate and some fruit baskets.
