Nominations open for Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards

The Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards 2023

Nominations are now open for the Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards, the only Greater Manchester-wide awards for the whole health and care workforce.

As well as regular awards such as People’s Champion and Volunteer Champion, new categories have been introduced this year including a Lifetime Achievement Award and Employer/Workplace of the Year.

Nominations across the thirteen categories are now open and the deadline for making submissions is 10 March 2023.

Nominations can be completed by colleagues or members of the public who wish to see an individual or team’s hard work recognised.

Previous winners include care home managers, social workers, disability advocate groups, fundraisers and even flight attendant crew workers who swapped serving people in the sky to serving patients in hospital.

The awards are organised by NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care (NHS GM), with support from the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. They were established back in 2018, and in 2021 the awards went virtual to recognise those who had gone above and beyond during the pandemic.  

Janet Wilkinson, Chief People Officer of Greater Manchester Integrated Care, said: “I am delighted that the Health and Care Champion Awards are back as a face-to-face event for 2023. They are a great opportunity to recognise and thank the people of Greater Manchester who go above and beyond at work or in their community.

“Our health and care services are busier than ever, and our workforce continue to work tirelessly to deliver the best possible care. They really do deserve recognition for everything they do, often in challenging circumstances. So, if you know someone who has gone that extra mile, either at your local GP surgery, hospital or a volunteer who has dedicated their spare time helping others, then please do take five minutes to nominate them today.”

Nominations can be completed online, or you can download a nomination form and send it back via email or post.
