Actor Stephen Mangan presented NHS staff with awards for making "a huge impact on our lives".
The Royal Free London Oscars ceremony took place at the Emirates stadium on Thursday, July 18.
The Royal Free London NHS Trust employs more than 12,000 staff, serving more than 1.6 million people across 70 sites in north London and Hertfordshire including the Royal Free Hospital, Barnet Hospital and Chase Farm Hospital.
Winners were chosen across 14 categories from more than 900 nominations.
Actor Stephen Mangan, star of The Green Wing, I'm Alan Partridge and BBC drama The Split, was invited as a special guest to give out the awards.
He said: "What you do, and the service you provide impacts people enormously.
"Every aspect of the hospitals, every department, from the people that we meet as the general public to the people that we never see - you all make a huge impact on our lives.
"I am delighted to be here tonight to celebrate your success."
Trust chairman Mark Lam told more than 300 staff present: "There were over 900 nominations from across the trust for the Oscars awards this year, which was the highest number of nominations ever received and it’s so special to be here to recognise everything you have achieved this year."
Chief executive Peter Landstrom reflected on the trust's year and emphasized the importance of every individual's role.
He said: "Every single one of us in every site and department has a part to play – whether we’re booking patients into their appointments, welcoming them when they arrive at our buildings, offering them vital care and treatment, ensuring we stick to our budgets, or checking in on our colleagues.
"The RFL Oscars is an opportunity for us to take time out to say thank you to all our staff."
The awards are annually supported by the Royal Free Charity and recognise the exceptional work of NHS staff.
Jon Spiers, chief executive of the charity, said: "We sponsor these awards every year because it’s really important to us that you are recognised for the extraordinary work you do.
"It’s thanks to our supporters’ generosity that we can do what we do to help you, your colleagues and your patients."
