Established in 2018 to mark the NHS’ 70th birthday, the NHS Parliamentary Awards recognise the outstanding contribution of staff going above and beyond for their communities to deliver excellence in healthcare. The Awards have continued to grow year on year, with over 750 individuals or teams being nominated by MPs in 2023.
As in previous years, competition across all ten categories is likely to be tough, as countless staff, carers and volunteers from all across the NHS have come together in recent times to realise some remarkable achievements.
Mr Moore is now searching for outstanding nominees for the 2024 Awards who have innovated, impressed, and made a real difference to how the health and care system provides for patients.
Nominations close on Friday 19 April, and all of those shortlisted by the national judging panel will be invited to an awards ceremony in Westminster to celebrate their fantastic achievements alongside the MPs who nominated them.

Commenting on the 2024 Awards, Robbie Moore MP said:
“As I call for nominations for this year’s NHS Parliamentary Awards, I want to pay tribute to all of the hardworking NHS staff across Keighley, Ilkley, Silsden and the Worth Valley for the superb care they provide to patients every single day.
The NHS would be nothing without its fantastic staff and volunteers, and these awards are a unique opportunity to highlight and celebrate some of their incredible work.
I want to hear from you about any outstanding care that you have received in the last year. If you would like to nominate a local healthcare hero for any of the ten categories, please do visit: https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-parliamentary-awards/how-to-nominate/”
Professor Sir Stephen Powis, chair of the judging panel and NHS England’s National Medical Director, said:
“The NHS, with its principle of free healthcare at the point of use, is one of the country’s most valued institutions, and at the heart of it is its dedicated workforce.
“The 2024 NHS Parliamentary Awards play a crucial role in allowing us to celebrate our hardworking staff, who thanks to their efforts this year helped the NHS deliver significant levels of patient care.
“Whether it be clinicians, allied health professionals, medical associates, scientists, volunteers, clerical staff, porters, emergency responders – all our staff are united in their mission to deliver the best care for patients. Our NHS would be nothing without them.”
