HEE is celebrating the achievements of healthcare workers

Health Education England (HEE) is once again the main sponsor for the ‘Our Health Heroes Awards’ 2018.

The awards, run by Skills for Health, recognise the fantastic contribution of healthcare workers across the UK and HEE is proud to show its support again this year.

The awards are now in their third year and have continued to grow with categories including the Lifetime Achievement Award #NHS70 and Staff Retention and Well-Being Employer of the Year Award.

The new categories are in addition to the established awards for Apprentice of the Year, Workforce Planning Team of the Year, Integrated Team of the Year and the Clinical Support and Operational Services Support Worker of the Year.

Laura Roberts, Regional Director (North), Health Education England said:

"Health Education England (HEE) is delighted to be sponsoring the Our Health Heroes awards. Healthcare is all about people and HEE is committed to ensuring staff working in the NHS make up a rich tapestry of knowledge and skills - whether they have entered the service through an apprenticeship or via a more traditional route. 

"Healthcare support workers are the life blood of the NHS and through bringing to life the right values and behaviours - such as compassion, respect and dignity - they are making a significant impact in ensuring patients receive high quality care."

HEE is proud to be supporting the awards again and if you know a Health Hero you can nominate via Skills for Health’s website. 

Entrants will be shortlisted, and regional winners and finalists will either be chosen by public vote or by an expert panel before the winners are announced at the award ceremony later this year.

Nominations close on 16 September
