Sponsorship deal rewards excellence

Do you know a healing hero?
Do you know a healing hero?


As the key organisation that brings about improvements in the quality of healthcare, it seems only right that we’re the organisation that sponsors the Quality Champion of the Year award at The Scottish Health Awards 2012 in November. And that’s exactly what we’re doing – not just for this year, but for the next three years in total.

The Scottish Health Awards are now entering their 11th year, and it is a prestigious event organised by the Scottish Daily Record in association with the Scottish Government. The event has been described as “extraordinary and moving” and is a unique opportunity to honour and celebrate the dedication and outstanding achievement of workers in the NHS in Scotland. 

Recognising professionalism 

The aim of the awards is to promote excellence, and to celebrate and recognise the devotion, professionalism and humanity of workers. Many awe-inspiring stories of achievement are promised from across the health service in Scotland: doctors, nurses, therapists, volunteer and support workers – in fact, anyone who has put their life on the line to help others.

The event will take place at the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh on Thursday 8 November 2012. The evening will be hosted by Fred McAulay and will take the form of a gala dinner for up to 500 guests




Who can nominate? 

The awards are open to anyone, including the general public who wish to nominate and recognise the achievements of:

  • NHSScotland employees; and
  • Individuals from partner organisations, charities or external organisations who provide health and social care services.

Who are the awards for?
