Outstanding Achievement Awards

Our annual Outstanding Achievement Awards recognise Team North West Anglia staff and volunteers who are making a difference to the lives of people accessing services in our hospitals. The awards are the perfect opportunity to show gratitude and praise individuals and teams who demonstrate dedication and personify our Trust values.

Our annual award ceremony has ten award categories, nine categories are nominated by staff and the final tenth category is nominated by you, our local community.

It's important that Outstanding Achievement Awards nominees represent the best of North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, so please read the criteria before nominating a member of staff, as this will increase their opportunity of winning an award.

For any help or assistance with your nomination, please email:  nwangliaft.communications@nhs.net

Health Hero Award

The Health Hero Award is the only award of the evening that is nominated by the public for a person or team who have demonstrated high-quality clinical care and/or compassion or kindness to our patients and their loved ones, or to the public generally.

  • They treat people equally and with dignity and respect 
  • They give patients time, respect and independence 
  • They are good communicators 
  • They involve patients in their treatment decisions and choices 
  • They are sensitive to the needs of others

What happens to your nomination?

The Communications team works hard to make sure the judging and scoring process is fair.

The details in your nomination will only be shared with the communications team and judging panel for shortlisting purposes.

When nominations close, the team sifts through each nomination making sure they qualify for the awards - this includes checking nominees work at the Trust.

Following this initial review, a team of volunteer staff and governors will judge the nominations using the criteria and a scoring system. This process is facilitated by Hannah Coffey, Chief Executive.
