• Lifetime Achievement Award

Nominations are now open for just four weeks, until Monday 8 November. So, don’t delay, NOMINATE TODAY

How do I make a nomination?

First, read our Categories and Guidelines Document and FAQs. Decide which category you want to nominate in and what criteria you need to focus on in your nomination. 

Next, complete the Online Nomination Form. If you don’t want to fill it all out at once you can draft it on Word first and copy/paste it onto the form when you’re ready to submit. Remember to stick to the 250 word count though!

For a fair judging process, the judges only use the information on the nomination form so be sure to give as many examples and evidence that you can, within the word limit. 

Patient/service user/carer nominations

We will accept hard copy nominations from patients, service users and carers. Patients/service users should just include initials rather than full names. These can be posted to:
