Hospital staff have been praised for their work at an annual awards ceremony.
The Royal West Sussex NHS Trust, which runs St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, established the awards to recognise and reward the contribution and achievements of many workers.
Staff were asked to nominate colleagues for an award in a number of different categories, with the winners receiving a certificate and gift vouchers worth £100.
The ceremony was held at the hospital this week with Lord March, owner of the Goodwood Estate, presenting the awards.
This year's awards included a new category, Getting the Basics Right, highlighting the hospital's commitment to cut the number of infections caught by patients.
Trust chairwoman Susan Pyper said: "The award ceremony is a very important event in our calendar as it enables us to recognise the dedication and achievements of our staff. It is entirely due to their efforts that St Richard's has earned its fine reputation for high quality healthcare."
Staff were also recognised for long service at the trust and for their training and development achievements.
