Final few days to nominate
The search for Sunderland and South Tyneside’s health heroes is entering the final straight.
There’s just over a week left for nominations in this year’s Best of Health Awards before we begin narrowing down the field.
We have already had an impressive number of entries but we still need more. We want lots of nominations so that we can make the job of the judges a really difficult one.
So whether you are a GP, a hospital doctor, a nurse or a dentist, there’s a trophy awaiting the champion in TWO health areas.
In fact, there’s so many sections, it is worth taking a look at the list before deciding which category to enter your own health hero in.
Nominations can come from all sources.
Members of the public can nominate. So can health workers – either for themself or for a worthy colleague.
In fact, anyone can put a deserving cause in the running for a trophy.
Sponsors for this year’s awards are South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust, City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, mydentist, NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group, the Quality Hotel Boldon and Northumbrian Water.
There are a range of categories to nominate someone for and once the nominations are in, a shortlist will be drawn up.
Finalists will then be invited to a finale at the Quality Hotel, in Boldon, on Thursday, April 27.
There are lots of categories to choose from, so there’s noexcusenottoputyourown health hero in the running for honours.
