Food and fluid mythbusters are part of the Food First campaign

The campaign focuses on the importance of food and drink in improving a patient’s recovery and how it can potentially lead to quicker discharge from hospital.

The information is aimed at staff, patients, visitors and family and highlights the role we can all play in patient recovery.

The NHSGGC staff Excellence Awards are looking for patients, visitors and staff to nominate our dedicated teams and individuals. Our staff truly have gone above and beyond in this past year and a half and we want you to tell us about your experience of outstanding care.

These prestigious awards are for individual members of staff, teams, or projects that have identified ways to deliver improvements that benefit patients and service uses, colleagues, or NHSGGC.

Staff, patients and visitors can all nominate in these awards. We want you to tell us about the dedicated teams and individuals who go to extraordinary lengths to provide exceptional care for people who use our health services. The award ceremony will take place Friday 30 October 2026.

But we’re not just looking to celebrate the tremendous efforts of our staff. We are also looking for services that staff have moulded to patients’ needs, or projects that have transformed the way we work.

There are nine categories in our Excellence Awards, so there is a category to fit every project, programme, or an outstanding member of staff.

They are:

  • Chair’s Award of Excellence
  • Chief Executive’s Award of Excellence
  • Fairer Health Award
  • Nursing and Midwifery
  • Outstanding Care Award
  • Supporting Our People Award
  • Sustainability and Value Award
  • Transforming through Technology
  • Volunteer.

Our awards are a brilliant opportunity to shine a light on someone you know, who goes above and beyond the call of duty, to provide exceptional care and support.

We know our staff provide incredible patient care but we need you to tell us your stories.

Nominations closed on Friday 24 July 2026.
