Nominate your healthcare hero

The Proud Awards recognise and celebrate the people who are dedicated to providing the best care possible for patients. Whether that is on the wards or in community settings, in patients’ own homes or behind the scenes.

Keepmoat are the headline sponsors for this year’s award ceremony for the second year running, alongside Assut UK Ltd who are sponsoring this year’s Clinical Team of the Year Award.

For the second year, the Public Recognition Award is sponsored by Bauer Media, who bring you radio stations such as Hallam FM and Greatest Hits Radio. This award is an opportunity for patients and their loved ones to nominate an individual or team who have helped to deliver outstanding healthcare.

In recognition of the impact they have on patients and their families, for the first time, members of the public are also able to nominate members of the Trust’s army of volunteers for the Volunteer of the Year Award.

There are 15 categories altogether, including Unsung Hero, Clinical and Non-Clinical Team of the Year and Inspiring Leader.

The celebration will take place on the evening of Friday 14 June at Magna in Rotherham, where the winners will be announced.  

The Trust’s colleagues eligible to be nominated for awards deliver services at Rotherham Hospital, Rotherham Community Health Centre, BreathingSpace, Park Rehabilitation Centre and at health centres across the borough. This includes those working in people’s own homes and communities, such as school nurses and district nurses.

To nominate a member of staff for the 2024 Public Recognition Award, or a volunteer for Volunteer of the Year, patients or their families can simply complete an online nomination form.

Please include as much detail as possible, providing the name of the individual or team, where they work, and specific examples of your experience. The closing date for nominations is Sunday 7 April 2024.
