Warwick and Leamington MP Matt Western urges residents to nominate NHS heroes for annual parliamentary awards

The awards were introduced by NHS England to recognise the work of health and social care workers across the country. Honours include the ‘Excellence in Healthcare Award’, ‘Health Equalities Award’ and ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’.

Last year’s awards saw over 600 nominations from over 250 Members of Parliament.

The winners will be presented with their awards in Parliament on 7 July 2021.

Nominations can be sent to [email protected] by Thursday August 27.

Mr Western said: “In normal times the NHS is fantastic, but at a time when we most needed them, local NHS workers here in Warwick and Leamington have stepped up this year to support us in ways which are truly exceptional.

“Earlier this year I announced that I will be hosting my own constituency-focused awards for community excellence, which NHS workers will of course play an important part. It would be great to also have the work of local NHS workers recognised nationally in the NHS Parliamentary Awards.”

"So, if you know someone in the NHS who deserves to be praised at a national level for their service, please get in touch.”
