Focuson health heroes

There is still time to nominate your health hero for South Lanarkshire.

The Scottish Health Awards 2018 are on the hunt to find Scotland’s most dedicated healthcare professionals

With award category closing dates fast approaching on August 30, organisers the Daily Record, Nhsscotland and the Scottish Government, are urging people to get their nominations in now.

As the NHS celebrates its 70th anniversary, there’s never been a better time to pay tribute to Nhsscotland staff, support workers, volunteers and specialist teams who make a difference to so many across the country.

Every year, thousands of Scots owe their wellbeing and even their lives to the commitment and passion of healthcare professionals whose extraordinary efforts often go unrecognised. Now, patients, their families, work colleagues and members of the public have the chance to help them get the recognition they rightly deserve at the 17th annual Scottish Health Awards this November.

Run by the Daily Record and in partnership with Nhsscotland and the Scottish Government, the Scottish Health Awards celebrate the hard work and dedication of individuals and teams delivering high quality health care throughout Scotland. The achievements of those who devote their lives to improving the health and wellbeing of people across the country are recognised through 17 diverse categories.

Categories include: Volunteers Award; Young Achiever Award; Unsung Hero Award; Nurse Award; and Doctor Award.
