Categories and nominees
Our awards categories aim to give as many people as possible across our divisions and professions the opportunity to be recognised and celebrated, whether by their peers or our patients
Most of our categories are nominated by staff, for staff, with the exception of our Patient's Choice award, which is open to patients and their families.
