The Spirit Awards, run by Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, recognises staff who have gone above and beyond in the care they deliver to patients.
There are 14 categories which includes Outstanding Clinical Team, Unsung Hero, Charity Champion and Volunteer of the Year.
The Moment of Magic recognises where a staff member or team have made a patient or family’s experience special at any of the Trust-run healthcare facilities, which are Birmingham Women’s Hospital, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and the mental health unit Parkview.
Last year’s winner Mr James Castleman, a Consultant in Maternal and Fetal Medicine, was recognised for going above and beyond in the care of a patient expecting high risk twins.
He said at the time of his win: “It’s an incredible honour to be recognised as the Moment of Magic winner. We make the care of our patients our utmost priority, so to be able to help someone in need at any time is a great privilege.
“To win an award that is voted for by patients and the public is unbelievable, especially with the quality of nominees that I was up against.”
Nominations close on Friday 26 June can be made by visiting their website.
