With just six days left until nominations close, colleagues and members of the public are being encouraged to put forward teams and individuals for this year's HEARTS Awards.
The HEARTS Awards (Honouring Exceptional and Really Terrific Staff) celebrate the outstanding people and teams across Derbyshire Healthcare who go above and beyond to make a difference to patients, service users, carers and colleagues. Nominations close at midnight on Sunday 16 August 2026.
If you know a colleague or team who deserves recognition, now is the perfect time to tell their story. Even if someone has already received a DEED nomination (our staff recognition scheme - Delivering Excellence Every Day), you may be able to build on that submission and nominate them for a HEARTS Award.
Finalists will be selected by a judging panel and invited to the HEARTS Awards ceremony in October, where the winners will be announced.
The Trust would also like to thank the organisations that have already signed up to sponsor this year's HEARTS Awards. Their support will help make the event a fitting celebration of the people and teams who make a difference every day. We are grateful for the support of a number of sponsors, including Patchwork, LIO, Hill Dickinson, Thalamos, Browne Jacobson and Arden Partnership.
To find out more about all the award categories and submit a nomination, visit the HEARTS Awards page and complete the online nomination form before the deadline.
