Vote for health heroes
Health board chairman John Brown has called on Express readers to nominate their local heroes.
Mr Brown, head of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, has highlighted that you only have until the end of July to get involved in the annual Chairman’s Awards.
This year, these will be a celebration of the NHS’s 70th anniversary and there has already been a significant number of nominations made.
There is still time if you haven’t already nominated an individual or team.
The event celebrates innovation and staff who go that extra mile to provide exceptional care.
The four award categories open to the public are: ● The Nursing Award recognising nursing stars – an individual or a team – who have demonstrated the highest standards of care for their patients ● The Volunteer/ Patient Ambassador Award celebrates someone who goes that extra mile to help our patients or a patient ambassador who represents patients either on a Public Partnership Forum or on a patients’ panel ● The Patient Centred Care Award honouring a group of staff who have pulled together to tailor the best possible patient care for those in their care, and ● The International Award highlighting staff who have travelled overseas to provide healthcare
Mr Brown said: “Our awards are a fantastic opportunity to shine a light on these people and in this special 70th anniversary year it is more poignant to celebrate the people who go above and beyond the call of duty to provide exceptional care and support.”
