Extraordinary People Awards

Our NHS staff and volunteers deliver extraordinary work every day.
Through our Extraordinary People Awards we aim to recognise and celebrate their efforts and achievements.
2023 awards
There are 11 categories in our awards, which link to our Trust values, celebrate excellent care and innovations, and recognise achievements that are helping us to deliver our Trust strategy.
Nominations for most of the awards in our scheme come from staff and volunteers, but the Extraordinary Care category is open to patients and carers too. If you’ve had excellent care from an individual or team and you want to celebrate them, you can nominate them here.
Contact rduh.employee.experience@nhs.net if you’d like a paper nomination form.
