Honour health heroesat awards

Residents in Rutherglen and Cambuslang are being asked to nominate their local healthcare heroes as the hunt for Scotland’s top health workers begins.

Every year the Scottish Health Awards recognise and reward the dedication of NHS staff, support workers, volunteers and specialist teams.

This is an opportunity to reward the people who help the NHS provide care to people in Scotland.

Shona Robison, cabinet secretary for health, said: “I regularly witness the energy, commitment and compassion shown by people working in our NHS and across our partners.

“The Scottish Health Awards recognise not only the contribution of front line health and social care workers but also those who work so hard behind the scenes in support roles to ensure we have the kind of health and care services that are so critical to the success of NHS Scotland and its partners.”

To nominate a healthcare hero in one of the 17 categories go to www. scottishhealthawards.com.

The closing date for nominations is August 31.
