Adam has challenged practice and process making changes to visiting hours, smoking policy and safety documentation.

His enthusiasm, drive and compassion extend beyond the medical. Working alongside the fundraising team, he organises personalised experiences for patients and families, such as a motorbike convoy and a personalised message from an England football player. And somehow he also finds time to support the hospice with incredible endeavours, like rowing across the Atlantic and achieving a Guinness World Record spin class! 

Adam is truly embracing the ethos of working for a charity. His approach epitomises inspirational leadership and this award recognises that he is only just beginning.
