MEMBERS of the public are being invited to make their nominations for the Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards 2021.

Entering their third year, after being put on hold due to Covid-19, the awards are an opportunity to say thank you to the unsung heroes who have really made a difference in hospitals and communities during the pandemic.

This year the awards are looking to recognise those people who have really stepped up – from health and care workers, both front line and those in support and administrative roles – to key workers and community champions.

Award categories include key worker and community champions, those who have led innovative practice, volunteers, leaders at any level and those who have helped improve the wellbeing of those around them during such a challenging year.

Nominations can be completed by colleagues or members of the public who wish to see an individual or team’s hard work recognised.

Nominations can be completed online at gmhsc.org.uk/awards by August 6.

The winners will be announced at a sponsored virtual event in the autumn.
