Vote Now for the People’s Choice Award

Voting has now opened for the 2021 People’s Choice Award. The People’s Choice Award specifically recognises our individuals and teams who have responded so magnificently to the challenge of caring for people during the pandemic, while at the same time maintaining a range of essential services and continuing to provide essential care.

It was an incredibly difficult task for the shortlisters to select the six finalists for the public vote as the quality of nominations was exceptional. Staff across the whole of our health and social care system continue to face the daily challenges and pressures of a pandemic under incredibly difficult circumstances.
