Help us shine a light on your Healthcare Heroes! We need your nominations for a special award to celebrate the amazing efforts of local NHS staff.

Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are working together as NHS Humber Health Partnership (NHSHHP).

Our staff work across Hull, Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Castle Hill and Goole hospitals, and out in the community.

This year, for the first time, the two Trusts will be holding a joint staff awards ceremony, Golden Stars 2024.

As part of those celebrations, we’re seeking nominations for the Healthcare Heroes Award. If you’ve recently been a patient at one of our five hospitals or under our community services, and want to highlight a staff member or team that made a difference to your experience, we want to hear from you!

Whether it’s a compassionate individual or a whole team of dedicated professionals you’d like thank, put them forward for this award as a mark of recognition.

Chairman for NHS HHP, Sean Lyons, said: “Our brand new awards scheme, Golden Stars, will shine a light on the outstanding efforts and achievements of local NHS staff.

“Our 17,000+ staff regularly go above and beyond to provide the best possible care for our patients. So if someone went the extra mile to support you and you’ve had a good experience from a member of our team, what better way to say thank you than nominating them for this prestigious award.

Jonathan Lofthouse, Group Chief Executive, added: “Our joint celebrations will see fifteen awards presented on the evening, but arguably the most coveted trophy will be for the award chosen by patients and the public, so please get in touch and tell us about how your healthcare heroes made a real difference to your experience.”

The winner of the Healthcare Heroes award will be revealed, alongside 14 other awards, at the Golden Stars 2024 ceremony on Friday 13 September at the Hilton Hotel in Hull.

If you have been a patient or visitor at one of our hospitals or in our community health services, you can nominate a staff member, clinical or non-clinical, by visiting the awards website at: https://www.hull.nhs.uk/awards/

Nominations will be accepted up until midnight on Tuesday 30 April.
