“I believe this award demonstrates the quality of care offered at Cygnet Hospital Derby. The Investors in People are a totally independent body who for the third consecutive year have measured the team’s effort with reference to the quality of care that is offered to our service users. Achieving this award has been a real team effort and I’d like to thank all our staff for the commitment that they have shown. However, we will not be complacent and we will be striving to achieve the Gold status in 2014.”Guy Bannister, Clinical Manager, Cygnet Hospital Derby
