Nominate your NHS community services stars in 2022 staff and volunteer awards

Help celebrate the efforts of our local NHS community trust by putting staff and volunteers forward for Celebrating Success Awards 2022.

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) is seeking nominations from patients and their loved ones to celebrate and recognise the achievements of its staff.

The trust provides community-based health care services across the county to help people live independently at home, including urgent treatment centres, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language services, community and district nursing, school-age immunisations and children’s therapy services. The trust also provides services at four community hospitals in Gainsborough, Louth, Skegness and Spalding.

Following last year’s success, the trust is inviting members of the public and their carers to nominate their NHS superstars in two categories: People’s Award and Volunteer of the Year Award. If you have had a good experience at one of LCHS’s community services and want to thank an individual or a team, please nominate them or if you have benefited from a support from one of our volunteers you can nominate them too.

The People’s Award is for teams and individuals dedicated to providing outstanding patient care and an exceptional level of service above and beyond the call of duty, doing something innovative or demonstrating compassion and making a difference to someone’s care.

The Volunteer of the Year Award recognises the incredible dedication of those who volunteer to support our services. We are looking for a volunteer who supported LCHS teams and had positive impact on patients or staff and who helped patients to access particular services or supported delivery of safe, high quality services.

The winners will be revealed in November at the trust’s annual staff awards ceremony, Celebrating Success 2022.

Elaine Baylis, Chair, said: “These awards recognise the contribution of frontline health and social care workers but also celebrate those who work so hard behind the scenes in support roles to ensure that we deliver the highest quality of care.

“On the night, we will present eleven awards to our staff and volunteers celebrating their incredible work. Whether it was a clinical team member who offered compassionate care or a whole team that made a real difference – please nominate them and say thank you.”

Nominations can be submitted in the following ways:

• Online by going to visitng our website.
• Calling 01522 309751, emailing lhnt.lchsecomms@nhs.net or messaging on Twitter or Facebook @LincsCommHealth to request a hard copy form.
