Nominations Open for Lincolnshire NHS Staff Awards
The public is now invited to submit nominations for the Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals Group Staff Awards, which honour the exceptional work of NHS staff across the county. This marks the third edition of the awards, set to take place in October, celebrating employees from both United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.
Celebrating Excellence in Healthcare
The awards feature 13 categories that recognise outstanding achievements in areas such as patient care, compassion, respect, teamwork, and innovation. These categories are designed to highlight the dedication and professionalism of community and hospital staff who consistently go above and beyond in their roles.
Anyone can participate in the nomination process, including staff members, patients, and members of the public. This inclusive approach ensures that the awards truly reflect the community's appreciation for the hard work and care provided by NHS teams throughout Lincolnshire.
A Grand Celebration Event
The programme will culminate in a stylish awards night at the Epic Centre on the Lincolnshire Showground, where over 400 staff will be celebrated. This event serves as a key opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of healthcare workers in a formal and festive setting.
Group Chief Executive Professor Karen Dunderdale expressed her enthusiasm for the awards, stating, "The Staff Awards are a great way of recognising the hard work and dedication of our colleagues across our community and hospital services." She added, "I want to encourage as many people as possible who have experienced great care or service to submit a nomination and help us recognise our fantastic staff. Our dedicated teams work hard every day, and these awards are a wonderful way to celebrate those who consistently go above and beyond."
How to Nominate
Nominations can be made online through the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust website. For those preferring a physical copy, paper forms are available upon request. The deadline for submissions for the 2026 awards is Friday, July 24, so interested parties are encouraged to act promptly to ensure their nominations are considered.
This initiative not only boosts morale among NHS staff but also strengthens the bond between healthcare providers and the community they serve, fostering a culture of recognition and appreciation in Lincolnshire.
