NHS Lanarkshire is delighted to announce that nominations are now open for the Staff Awards 2024.
This is your opportunity to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of teams and colleagues across the organisation.
The nominees will be reviewed by an independent judging panel, with shortlisted nominees being invited to the Staff Awards ceremony, which will take place this Autumn.
Additionally, all nominees will be considered for the Big Shout Out, an initiative that highlights creativity, innovation, and exceptional ways of working and caring for each other.
