Worcestershire Health and Social Care Awards 2023.
As these awards have grown over the past few years, we have been humbled by the stories we have been told. Each nomination represents a special person or team whose work truly makes a difference to those that they care for. From care home workers to nurses, doctors to dentists and mental health workers to domiciliary care workers, we are truly blessed to have such hard-working, dedicated and talented professionals in our communities. These awards seek to shine a light on the health and social care workers in Worcestershire who go the extra mile. We hope they will show our great appreciation for the work that they do. As the nominations come in, we look forward to sharing their stories and creating a permanent record of all those incredible achievements.
We are excited to be launching the Worcestershire Health & Social care Awards 2023 across all of our local titles and websites – Worcester News, Malvern Gazette, Evesham Journal, Bromsgrove & Droitwich Advertiser, Kidderminster Shuttle and Redditch Advertiser.
We look forward to reading this year’s nominations and sharing their wonderful stories. The 2023 awards will culminate in a black tie dinner for all the finalists at the Abbey Hotel in Malvern on Thursday, September 14, where the winners will be announced.
Closing date for nominations is 12 noon on Sunday July 9, 2023.
