An Extra Week to Nominate for The First Stockport Health and Care Awards

There’s been a lot of interest in the first Stockport Health and Care Awards, so the closing date has been extended until Thursday, 7 October, to give people extra time to get their entries in.

Organised by Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Stockport Council and Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, these inaugural awards recognise the contribution of anyone who has worked, or volunteered, for a Stockport health and care organisation during the pandemic.

There are 10 categories to choose from, so get nominating now.

• Collaborative Award– for teams that have worked together to produce great results.
• Community Award– for those who have played a key role in supporting their communities.
• Inclusion Award– to recognise people who have worked hard to include otherwise under-represented communities.
• Innovation Award– for those who have challenged the ‘way we do things’ and brought fresh ideas to the way they work.
• Key Worker Award – for those working in an essential role during the lockdowns of March 2020 and beyond.
• Leadership Award– for leaders at any level.
• Learner Award– for students or trainees completing studies during the pandemic.
• Rising Stars Award– for those under 21 who have made a significant contribution during the pandemic.
• Volunteer Award– for those working as part of a voluntary organisation.
• Wellbeing Award– for those who have championed physical and mental wellbeing.

Staff and volunteers across Stockport have come together to go above and beyond, both at work and in the community, demonstrating a commitment to the ethos of One Stockport.

Anyone who lives or works in Stockport can nominate a volunteer or health and care worker for an award, in recognition of their work supporting the pandemic.

Simply click the online submission form, choose a category and provide a short summary of why they deserve to win. You can nominate as many times as you like, but you will need to complete a new nomination form for each candidate. Nominations are open until Thursday, 7 October, 2021.

Winners will be chosen by an independent panel of judges and announced at a prize-giving ceremony on Tuesday, 23^, November, 2021. All shortlisted nominees will be invited to attend.
