Nominations open for CBBC's Ouch! Awards

Date published: 30 March 2019


Has your child helped another in medical need, or saved a life? Perhaps they have fought through their own medical condition, or raised money for charity to help others?

If so, they could be the perfect candidate for an Ouch! Award, brought to you by CBBC’s medical show for children, Operation Ouch!.

Operation Ouch! is a BAFTA winning, critically acclaimed educational children’s show, presented by Dr Chris, Dr Xand and Dr Ronx who experiment and explore their way through the fascinating world of medicine and biology.

The Ouch! Awards celebrate young people, aged six to 16, who have helped others in medical need, saved lives in an emergency, shown incredible courage living with their own medical condition, care for a relative or raised money for a charity to help others.

Entries will fall into four categories – First Aid, Lifesaver, Big Heart and Personal Courage.

A judging panel will choose a winner within each category that will be awarded an experience with doctors Chris and Xand.

Nominations close midnight on Sunday 5 May 2019
