One award winner
Nominations for this year’s Our Health Heroes awards are now closed. Our Health Heroes winners will be announced at our virtual awards ceremony on the 23rd March 2021.
This new award will be given to an individual or team who have demonstrated a clear, significant, and successful digital innovation which has transformed outcomes, developed processes, and improved patient care. We’re incredibly fortunate in the UK to have technologically advanced healthcare, and this award has been designed to recognise those who are going the extra mile to improve the use of digital solutions to achieve better patient outcomes. Whether that be improved systems that support the workforce, or digital innovations that directly impact clinical services.
Assessment criteria

- Improvements for staff where digital innovation and approaches have improved ways of working, learning, workforce development or other areas that impact employees or colleagues
- Innovative approach demonstrating work that has been developed to raise the bar and think outside the box, overcoming barriers and traditional ways of working

Nomination process
Nominators must complete the nomination form, which includes no more than 500 words about the nominee, demonstrating four of the criteria.
The nomination process takes approximately 10-15 minutes. We would recommend reviewing the questions and returning with your responses. You can click ‘Save and continue later’ at any time during the nomination, in the top right-hand corner of the screen in the nomination form.
As part of the nomination, we ask for some simple information about you, such as your name, job title and contact details. This is so we can let you know if your nominee is successful in winning an award, and so we can verify the nomination. We also ask for some information about your nominee, including their name, job title, contact details, an overview of what they do and why they are being nominated, and an answer to a few questions which relate to the award criteria shown in the bullet points above.
