Nominate your healing hero

Do you know a healing hero?  Each year the Scottish Health Awards provides an important opportunity to recognise and celebrate the work of those dedicated individuals and teams who deliver high quality health and care services.

Since March 2020, NHS Scotland and its partners across health and social care have risen to the challenge of dealing with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Those working across health and social care have shown incredible resolve and flexibility, in many cases being deployed into new roles and into new ways of working across our health and social care system. 

The sixteen award categories are:

• Support Worker Award
• Innovation Award
• Volunteers Award
• Midwife Award
• Allied Health Professional Award
• Young Achiever Award
• Unsung Hero Award
• Care for Mental Health Award
• Integrated Care Award
• Tackling Health Inequalities Award (previously Healthier Lifestyle Award)
• Leader of the Year Award
• Nurse Award
• Doctor Award
• Top Team Award
• Global Citizenship Award
• People’s Choice Award

The People’s Choice Award specifically recognises individuals and teams who have responded so magnificently to the challenge of caring for people during the pandemic, while at the same time maintaining a range of essential services and continuing to provide essential care. The People’s Choice Award will be put to a public vote from 13 September. 

Please take the time to nominate someone you believe deserves to be recognised across the sixteen award categories for this year.

Nominations will close on 26 August.
