NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s Ayrshire Achieves 2025 nominations are coming in fast. But there’s still time to submit your nomination and honour the incredible staff and volunteers who make a real difference in health and social care across Ayrshire.
Lesley Bowie, Chair of Ayrshire and Arran NHS Board, encourages everyone to participate: “Ayrshire Achieves is a fantastic opportunity to recognise the outstanding efforts of our staff and volunteers in NHS Ayrshire & Arran and the three health and social care partnerships.
“If someone has made an impact on you or your loved ones, this is your chance to show your appreciation.”
The awards celebrate excellence in six inspiring categories:
- Behind the scenes: This award is for staff who make a real difference without most people knowing about it.
- Care and compassion: This award is for an individual or team who has demonstrated care and compassion towards colleagues or patients and their families with exceptional care, compassion, dignity and respect.
- Collaboration and working together: This award is for a team who has demonstrated exceptional teamworking and collaboration.
- Making a difference with digital: This award is for an individual or team who is doing things differently using digital approaches.
- Shining stars: This award is for an individual, team or volunteer who goes above and beyond what is expected of them.
- Thinking out of the box: This award is for an individual or team who has done something new or different; delivered innovation, reform, or found solutions against all the odds.
