and live on Freeview channel 276
Staff at the trust – which runs Mansfield Community, Sutton’s King’s Mill and Newark hospitals – can be nominated for a special public award.
The People’s Award, backed by your Chad, is one of the categories in the trust’s annual Staff Excellence Awards and celebrates members of staff who go above and beyond to deliver outstanding care or service, from porters and cleaners, nurses and doctors, through to administration staff and managers.

Richard Mitchell, trust chief executive, said: “Opening up a special award to nominations from the public is a fantastic way for patients and families to show their appreciation for the dedicated people who work at Sherwood, who often go above and beyond to provide outstanding patient care.
“These awards aim to highlight where a team or an individual has truly made a difference and exceeded expectations. Your nominations, whether the individual is shortlisted or not, help Sherwood colleagues feel recognised and appreciated. We will let every colleague nominated know they have been recognised for the care they have provided to patients throughout the last year.”
‘Exceptional care’
Last year’s People’s Award winner was the specialist antenatal diabetes team, which was nominated by a patient and her husband for the ‘exceptional care’ they received before and throughout the patient’s pregnancy.
