People from across Ayrshire and Arran are being asked to share positive experiences of their local NHS by nominating staff and volunteers for an Ayrshire Achieves Award.

Ayrshire Achieves 2019, funded by NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s Charity Fund, gives local people – and staff – the chance to recognise the positive contribution of health workers and volunteers to the NHS and health and social care partnerships.
The awards aim to celebrate success, applaud excellence and innovation, and demonstrate continuous improvement in the quality of care.
Stewart Donnelly, Employee Director – Ayrshire and Arran NHS Board, explains: “We know our staff often go the extra mile for the people they care for. This is your chance to nominate your NHS or partnership star and give them the recognition they deserve. So if you know of someone who deserves to be recognised, we would be delighted to hear from you.”
