GHC Annual Awards

It’s time to get your nominations in for the annual Trust Awards!

This year there are 9 categories to choose from, with the closing date of Friday 9 January 2026.

The judging panel, hosted by our Trust Chair Graham Russell, will meet on 15 January to select the shortlisted entries then the awards will be held at Hatherley Manor Hotel, near Gloucester, in April.

This year we have introduced a new category in memory of Dan Beale-Cocks, longstanding Trust Expert by Experience, Patient Safety Partner and Champion for Co-production. The award is titled the ‘Co-Production Award’ and will be given to the colleague/team/service judged to have worked most effectively to ensure people and communities were engaged and involved in a project, improvement development or initiative in our Trust.
