Awards celebrate military healthcare heroes
Story posted/last updated: 29 November 2012
National awards that officially recognise and strengthen the partnership between Britain’s military and civilian healthcare workers will be officially launched at the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham this week.
The fourth annual Military and Civilian Health Partnership Awards (MCHPA) highlight and celebrate outstanding care for forces personnel across all professional disciplines and settings.
On Friday 17 June, at 13:00, Surgeon-Vice Admiral Philip Raffaelli and Ms Julie Moore, Chief Executive of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB), will open the nominations.
The judging process will culminate in an awards ceremony on Wednesday 9 November at Birmingham Council House.
Ms Moore said: “The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham demonstrates the world-class care delivered through the partnership of MoD and civilian health and social care services.
“As the receiving hospital for all British wounded military personnel, we have seen first-hand the dedication of military and civilian healthcare professionals working together when caring for our forces’ personnel.
“I am proud to launch these special awards in recognition and celebration of the outstanding care delivered. I would like to urge everyone to please visit the website, make their nominations and pay tribute to our military and civilian health heroes.”
The competition will recognise and strengthen the partnership between Britain’s military and civilian healthcare workers and, as it did in previous years, it will provide an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate many examples of high quality medical care and service provision.
The awards are open to military or civilian members of the Defence Medical Services, NHS or independent sector health or social care workers who, either on an individual or team basis, have benefited the care of a member(s) of the Armed Forces, at home or on deployment overseas, their families or service veterans.
Nominations can come from within the forces and NHS, from family and friends of servicemen and women who have been treated, or from members of the public.
To make a nomination please visit the MCHPA website.
