THE Golden Jubilee Foundation will receive the Ministry of Defence’s highest badge of honour for organisations which support the Armed Forces.
The Dalmuir-hospital based group is the only Scottish NHS board among the 33 winners of the Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Awards.
The foundation was recognised by the Ministry of Defence as a “supportive employer of the armed forces’ reserves” in 2013 and signed the Armed Forces Covenant with them in 2016.
Jill Young, chief executive of the Golden Jubilee Foundation, said: “We are delighted to receive the prestigious Gold Award from the Employer Recognition Scheme.
“The Golden Jubilee has been a proud supporter of our full time and reserve forces for the past 15 years, and is committed to continuing to expand our strategic partnership with the Armed Forces.
“In line with our vision of leading quality, research, and innovation within the healthcare sector, we will continue to share learning and new ways of working which will hopefully result in transferable innovative training and leading edge solutions to improve services for Scotland’s patients.”
