OSCARS (Outstanding Service Contribution and Recognition Scheme)
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 have now closed our nominations for OSCARS 2026. Nominations are now going through our 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 Autumn in Nottingham, where shortlisted individuals and teams will be honoured, thanks to the generous support of our thanks to the support of our generous sponsors.
