We want to take this opportunity to shine a light on all of the incredible work achieved across South Tees health and care sectors, and celebrate the dedication and commitment of staff, volunteers and services throughout the last year.
We hope the STAR Award also offers the opportunity to share good practice across South Tees.
Nominations are open from Tuesday 4 January 2022, so if you know somebody who has gone the extra mile, let us know.
Who can be nominated?
The STAR Award aims to recognise any member of the local community who has helped to make a difference in someone’s health and social care. Anyone across the South Tees locality can be nominated.
An individual, team, department, organisation or service etc can be nominated whether they are a professional, volunteer, patient or member of the public.
We want to be flexible in our approach to nominations but focus on recognising those who have made a real difference to someones health and wellbeing and have gone above and beyond expectations to have a positive impact.
Anyone can submit a nomination, based on their own experience, or someone they know.
