The countdown is on to find your healthcare hero in the Annual Moving to Excellence Awards for the NHS Group, which provides acute and community healthcare in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust (ShropCom) and The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) are inviting people to nominate teams or individuals who have made a remarkable contribution or have shown exceptional compassion and dedication in their role across our community services, hospitals, and everywhere in between.

The Public Recognition Award is the only category that patients, families and members of the public can nominate and vote for and the deadline has been extended to midnight on Sunday 16 August.

It is a wonderful opportunity to ensure your healthcare heroes receive the recognition they deserve and it means so much to those that work for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Community and Hospitals NHS Group.
