Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates NHS Borders specialist care baby unit (SCBU) team on being awarded Team of the Year by the Scottish Neonatal Nurses Group; understands that this national award celebrates excellence within neonatal services and is open to all neonatal units across Scotland; notes that, to be considered for the award, teams must be nominated by someone who recognises their outstanding contribution, and that the winner is then selected by an independent panel; understands that the NHS Borders SCBU team stood out for its dedication to delivering outstanding and compassionate neonatal care; believes that the team’s commitment is reflected not only in this award win, but also in the positive parent feedback that it received and in the team’s 100% achievement rate in 13 out of the 15 standards assessed during their UNICEF stage 3 accreditation, and pays credit to the SCBU team on receiving this well-deserved national recognition of its dedication, compassion and professionalism.
