We’re looking for those special teams or individuals who have really made a difference for patients or their colleagues.

To make it even easier to enter we've added a button on the left-hand side of the intranet homepage. It takes you to our dedicated pages of information and entry forms.

It’s easy to apply or nominate someone for an award online. The following may help you decide to enter/nominate:

• What you told the CQC you were proud of where you work?
• Have you nominated someone for a Star Award?
• Has your team featured in CHFT Weekly or Trust News?
• Have you or your team won an external award?
