People from across Ayrshire and Arran are being asked to share positive experiences of their local NHS by nominating staff and volunteers for an Ayrshire Achieves Award.

Ayrshire Achieves 2016, funded by NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s Charity Fund, gives local people – and NHS staff – the chance to recognise the positive contribution of health workers and volunteers to their NHS. The awards aim to celebrate success, applaud excellence and innovation, and demonstrate continuous improvement in the quality of care.

Stewart Donnelly, Employee Director – Ayrshire and Arran NHS Board, explains: “We know our staff often go the extra mile for the people they care for. This is your chance to nominate your NHS star and give them the recognition they deserve. So if you know of someone who deserves to be recognised, we would be delighted to hear from you.”

Any member of the public, employee of NHS Ayrshire & Arran and partner organisations can nominate an individual or team employed by NHS Ayrshire & Arran for an award. You can also nominate a volunteer, voluntary group or charity for the volunteer’s award.

There are nine award categories this year, including Rising Star and Volunteer of the Year.

The closing date for nominations is Friday 20 May 2016.
