Working together to deliver excellent patient care
Who do people see when they think of NHS staff? Probably doctors, nurses and paramedics. But there are thousands of people working in non-clinical support roles, working together as One Team.
UNISON believes it is time that the public and politicians understand the contributions of support staff.
One Team Awards
This is your chance to nominate a colleague who deserves recognition, and put them in the running to win one of three £500 shopping vouchers.
Winners will be picked based on the following criteria:
- Dedication to delivering and improving patient care, directly or indirectly.
- Working effectively as part of one NHS team and being supportive towards colleagues.
- Being a role model at work – for example, offering guidance to new starters or demonstrating ideal standards of work.
- Evidence of supporting equality, diversity and inclusivity.
These awards are to recognise UNISON members working in non-clinical support and operational services roles, up to and including band 5. Anyone can nominate someone who meets this criteria.
Nominations close on 10 December 2025. UNISON will be in contact with you if your nominee is shortlisted, using the contact details you provide.
