Make a nomination to recognise the county’s amazing hospital staff

The awards are an opportunity for the people of Lincolnshire to recognise the hard work, dedication and care shown by hospital staff working across the county, especially those who have demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care during the Covid pandemic.

Nominations can be made in 12 categories, recognising care and compassion, great teamwork, research and innovation, and unsung heroes among other things. Anyone can make a nomination.

This year, as a one-off, a new ‘Covid Hero Award’ has been introduced, with the aim of recognising individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond to care for patients and colleagues during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In addition to this, the ‘Roger Thorley Great Patient Experience Award’ is especially important, as it is open only to patient nominations, and winners will be judged 
by a panel of patients.

Since launching in 2013, the ULHT Staff Awards have received thousands of nominations for staff across Lincolnshire’s hospitals in all sorts of roles, both clinical
and non-clinical.

ULHT’s chief executive, Andrew Morgan, said: “We have hard working and dedicated staff working across our hospitals, and right now they deserve recognition for their efforts more than ever before.

“Our staff have been there offering care to patients even during the most difficult days of the Covid-19 pandemic, and continue to go above and beyond on a daily basis in challenging circumstances. Our awards are just one way in which we can recognise staff excellence and the amazing work that they do.

“I’d like to encourage anyone who has experienced or observed great care or service to make a nomination and give our staff a boost.”

To nominate someone for an award, fill in a form on the trust’s website at https://www.ulh.nhs.uk/about/staff-awards/

Paper copies will also be available at hospital sites.

The awards will close on Friday, January 29, 2021.
