Our Team NUH Annual Awards Finalists 2022

Our Team NUH Awards Programme, now in its second year, recognises and celebrates the hard work, commitment, dedication and ambition of our staff members and volunteers who are nominated for these awards throughout each year by colleagues and members of the public.
Following our 3 quarterly rounds held in 2022, where winning and highly commended awards in 8 categories were presented within our hospitals, it's now time for our annual awards, where an overall winner in each of our categories, as well as our Volunteer of the Year, will be announced at our annual awards ceremony taking place on Thursday 6th October.
We are delighted to confirm this year's #TeamNUHAwards finalists, as well as all of our highly commended awardees in 2022.
