Help celebrate caregivers with the Health and Care Champions Awards.

Do you know a Tameside health and care worker who has made a difference?

The Greater Manchester awards for our health and care workforce are back again for their sixth year.

Tameside Council are supporting the Health and Care Champion Awards, organised by NHS Greater Manchester (NHS GM), encouraging nominations for outstanding work done in Tameside.

This year there are 14 categories to choose from including regular favourites like the Community Champion and Rising Star.

Nominations are now open and close on Tuesday 11 March 2025. The awards are open to all individuals or teams, paid or unpaid, who work in the health or care sector in Greater Manchester or through their broader work help improve the health and wellbeing of others.

Executive Member for Public Health Cllr Taf Sharif said “These awards are such an amazing opportunity to show appreciation for those in the health and care workforce who do tremendous, life changing work, day in-day out. I’m sure there are many worthy of an award, so we are encouraging individuals to show recognition and get involved in nominating outstanding and innovative work in Tameside’s health care teams.”

Nominations can be completed by anyone who wishes to see an individual or team’s hard work recognised. Residents can say a special thank you by nominating in the People’s Champion category, which is open for patients and service users only.
