Meet the finalists of the Greater Manchester Health and Care Champion Awards

Now in its sixth year, the awards are organised by NHS Greater Manchester and have received a record-breaking number of nominations. These celebrate the incredible individuals and teams who work tirelessly on the frontlines and behind-the-scenes to improve the health and wellbeing of others.

This year, nearly 700 nominations were received from over 140 organisations, each highlighting an extraordinary story from our employed and unwaged workforce. Entries spanned 14 categories, including Leadership Champion, Team of the Year, and the People’s Champion which is nominated by the public in partnership with Hits Radio.

This year’s shortlist features a mental health nurse, a volunteer motorbike mechanic for blood transport services, and a sexual health team addressing health inequalities by providing essential care to vulnerable and marginalised groups including asylum seekers and refugees.
