HUMAN resources staff from the care trust that runs the Centre for Mental Health at Airedale Hospital have won a top accolade.

They have received an excellence in human resources award from the Healthcare People Management Association.

The Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust team won the leadership development category for its pioneering Engaging Leaders programme.

More than 330 trust employees have so far completed the programme, which supports leaders to develop skills and knowledge.

Hazel Murgatroyd, from the trust, said: "Winning this award is a fantastic acknowledgement of the difference we can make when we bring people together to learn, connect, share and inspire each other.

"Engaging Leaders continues to develop a culture where people really matter."
