What are the Health and Social Care Awards?

The Health and Social Care Awards are an annual award ceremony, held by the Hereford Times, to recognise the hard work, dedication, innovation, and care delivered across our county’s health and social care sector. With focus on the individuals and their stories, it’s the people who make the difference.

In recent years, the people of Herefordshire have shown their support for the awards by nominating someone they know who deserves it, and we hope that communities will join together once more in celebrating the care workers that go above and beyond their duties.

The Health and Social Care Awards 2024 will take place on Thursday October 3, 7pm at the Hereford racecourse, but the closing date for nominations is August 4, 2024.

The winners of the 12 awards will be chosen by a panel of independent judges.

Nominations from the public, business, private organisations, and health & social care professionals are all accepted. Help us celebrate those who make such a difference to the lives of so many.
