The NHS is one of our country’s proudest achievements which has been built on the hard work of its dedicated staff. Whether it is our doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical scientists, cleaners, clerical staff, porters, our amazing volunteers, or anyone else working in the NHS – all their hard work and commitment is essential to delivering excellent healthcare.

The NHS Parliamentary Awards launched in 2018 to celebrate the NHS’s 70th birthday and recognise the outstanding contribution of staff, volunteers and others working in the health and care sector, supported by MPs across England.

The last Parliamentary Awards were held in 2024 – the winners are listed here: NHS England » Former Commonwealth sprinter among trailblazing NHS staff winners at 2024 Parliamentary Awards
