The plea is being made as the Trust, which runs King’s Mill, Mansfield Community and Newark Hospitals, opens nominations for its annual People’s Award category which gives the public a unique opportunity to publicly thank staff for their dedication and commitment.

The People’s Award is due to be one of 18 awards presented at the Trust’s annual Excellence Awards event, which is due to be held as a virtual celebration of NHS staff and volunteers on Friday, October 7.

The Trust’s chief executive, Paul Robinson, said: “Colleagues across our NHS have been working hard throughout the pandemic to keep essential services running and to provide the best possible care for patients.

“So much of their work goes on behind-the-scenes, so this is our opportunity to really celebrate their work and all that they have achieved.

“We would love for the patients and local communities we serve to join those celebrations by putting forward their nominations for my colleagues who they think have gone above-and-beyond the call of duty and who they think deserve special recognition.”

The deadline for nominations is midnight on Sunday, August 21.
