Has your hospital experience been made all the better by a member of staff who has gone the extra mile?

Whether it is an outpatient appointment, diagnostic scan, therapy visit or inpatient stay, we want to hear from you – so that we can ensure the staff who have helped you can be recognised for their exemplary service.

You can nominate your local hospital ‘Health Hero’ for a special award, to be presented at the Outstanding Achievement Awards in October. All nominations will go before a judging panel to find a separate Hospital Hero for Peterborough City Hospital, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Stamford and Rutland Hospital – which are all run by North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.

The Health Hero category recognises individuals or teams who have made a real difference to the lives of patients and their families, and who represent the Trust’s values by being caring and compassionate whilst delivering outstanding healthcare.

Hannah Coffey, Chief Executive of North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Our staff take a great deal of pride in caring for patients and their loved ones, and for them to be nominated by a patient is a really special accolade that means so much. We love to shine a light on our Health Heroes every year and so I would encourage patients past and present from the last 12 months to share their stories with us.”

The deadline to nominate a Health Hero is Friday 12 July at 9am. To submit a nomination please click here to access the nomination form. You can nominate someone as the patient yourself or as friends or relatives of someone who has been seen or treated in one of our hospitals in the last 12 months.

The Trust’s Outstanding Achievement Awards ceremony will take place on 10 October 2024 and we will announce winners publicly following the event.
