Nominate a health worker

NOMINATIONS are being sought for the best healthcare workers in the Lothians for the Scottish Health Awards 2011.

The awards acknowledge and reward NHS workers and volunteers who go the extra mile to deliver exceptional care, cure illnesses or improve local health services.

NHS staff and volunteers who work in any healthcare setting from hospitals and dental surgeries to GP practices or in the local community are eligible for an award.

Alan Boyter, NHS Lothian director of human resources and organisational development, said: “The Scottish Health Awards are a great way to recognise the unsung heroes working in the National Health Service.”
