Shortlist for Greater Manchester's Health and Care Champions
The awards recognise those who go above and beyond in our communities.
A chef, a football club secretary, a team of midwives and a MacMillan dementia nurse are among the nominations for this year's Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards.
The ceremony organised by NHS Greater Manchester is the only one region-wide that
recognise the exemplary contributions of our whole health and care workforce.
It was first held in 2018 and now enters its fifth year post Covid. They are an opportunity to show recognition and gratitude to those working hard to improve the health and wellbeing of the people in our communities.
Over 500 nominations were received this year, each sharing the extraordinary stories from across our employed and unwaged workforce. Nominations were submitted for 13 different categories, including Leadership, Innovation and Community Champion.
The 2024 shortlist can be found here and the winners will be announced at a sponsored event on 11 July 2024.
Mark Fisher, Chief Executive of NHS Greater Manchester, said: “Congratulations to the nominees who have made the shortlist for this year’s Champion Awards. It is inspiring to hear of their outstanding contributions and work to improve the lives of the people of Greater Manchester.
“These awards really highlight the important role of the staff and volunteers from a range of backgrounds and disciplines who support our services.”
“I’m so glad we get to honour those working so hard each and every day – good luck to all of those who have been shortlisted.”
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said: “It’s fantastic to see the Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards are back again for their fifth year. The variety of individuals and teams shortlisted across Greater Manchester is outstanding - from midwives, to care workers, and charities helping the homeless and mental health services. I’m really pleased that they are getting the recognition they deserve, and I look forward to finding out more about their hard work and innovation at the awards ceremony in July.”
