PATIENTS and visitors are invited to nominate their hospital heroes for this year's NUHonours awards.
Now in their seventh year, the awards recognise the extra effort people make to care for patients at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Last year over 630 nominations were received in the 15 award categories – a record.
NUH chief executive Peter Homa is urging nominations for those who have shown incredible determination, professionalism and passion on a daily basis.
Peter said: "NUHonours is all about rewarding our unsung heroes, those who consistently go above and beyond to do their very best for patients and those who are seen as excellent role models by both patients and colleagues."
"Please take the time to nominate a team or member of staff at our hospitals who you feel have 'gone the extra mile' in their daily work to help improve patient and staff experience."
As well as awards for different clinical specialties at NUH, there is also an award for volunteers, fundraisers, and partnership working – plus an award to recognise the trust's 14,000 public members who have made an outstanding contribution to the organisation in the past year.
Judging will take place in September/October, with the awards presented on Friday, November 16, at the East Midlands Conference Centre.
