The NHS Group in Shropshire is accepting public votes for its Moving to Excellence Awards Public Recognition Award until 16 October.

The NHS Group in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin is running the Moving to Excellence Awards, with a public vote for the Public Recognition Award. Four finalists have been shortlisted and voters have until noon on Friday 16 October to choose their winner by voting online. The award recognises teams or individuals who have made remarkable contributions and shown exceptional compassion and dedication in their roles.

Ned Hobbs, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive of The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, said the award was 'one of our most special' because the winner would be chosen by patients and communities. He said it was 'your chance to thank and celebrate the commitment, compassion and dedication shown every day by our colleagues and volunteers as they care for patients, families and our communities'.

This is the first year that the alliance between Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust and The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has held the awards together. Among the finalists is the Fertility Team, which the NHS Group says provides exceptional care and support to patients navigating challenging journeys.
