OSCARS

Nottinghamshire Healthcare had a record-breaking 936 nominations in 2025, over 140 more than the previous year, marking the highest number in the event's 22-year history.

The OSCARS, now in their 23rd year, celebrate the dedication, compassion, and innovation of volunteers and colleagues across the Trust. They shine a spotlight on those who go above and beyond to deliver outstanding care and support. This year's nominations showcase the remarkable work happening every day-from life-changing patient care to the vital behind-the-scenes contributions that keep services running seamlessly.

We are delighted to announce that nominations for OSCARS 2026 are now open. As always, every submission will go through our thorough two-stage judging process, supported by representatives from our colleague networks - including LGBT+, BME, Disability and Armed Forces - alongside volunteers, previous winners, non-executive directors and senior leaders.

The awards ceremony is scheduled for July in Nottingham, where shortlisted individuals and teams will be honoured, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.

 

If you require a hard copy nomination form these will be issued on a case by case basis, please contact the OSCARS team by email OSCARS@nottshc.nhs.uk. Some patients will have access to the nomination form by the Made Purple platform.
