Vote now for your health hero

The hard-working heroes who keep the NHS running – often in unsung ways – are being recognised in the second annual Health Heroes awards, organised by Skills for Health and sponsored by Health Education England.

After a successful debut in 2016, this year the awards include three new categories: integrated team of the year, workforce planning team of the year and apprentice of the year, alongside the established clinical and operational services support worker of the year awards.

UNISON is once more sponsoring one of the awards and head of health Sara Gorton commented: “Every day behind the scenes in the NHS, there are entire teams of healthcare support staff going above and beyond to ensure that patients are getting the best possible care, despite the many constraints they are forced to operate under.

“The quality of the nominations received and the deserving regional winners announced are a true tribute to the wider NHS, which often goes unnoticed.

“Health workers work as a team to deliver the best care, and they need to be recognised, valued and rewarded as just that.

After more than 950 nominations, a total of 33 finalists and regional winners have been revealed across the five categories.

Now the public, including can vote for the clinical and operational services support worker of the year from among the regional winners, as well as choosing the bronze, silver and gold apprentice of the year.
