The Care Awards are back for their second year and Manx Care is inviting members of the public to nominate their Health and Care Professional of the Year.
Aston International’s Award for Health and Care Professional of the Year will be presented to an individual or team nominated by the community for making a significant contribution to the delivery of health and social care on the Isle of Man.
The criteria for the award are as follows:
- makes a significant contribution to the delivery of services for Manx Care
- makes a real impact to patients, service users and their families in the care they deliver
- goes above and beyond to provide support to their service, or the wider organisation
You can vote via the online form available at the consultation hub or by sending an email to the Manx Care Advice and Liaison Service (MCALS) at mcals@gov.im clearly outlining who you are nominating, why you are nominating them and the impact they have had on you. The deadline for nominations is Friday 24 November 2023.
The Health and Care Professional of the Year Award is proudly sponsored by Aston International, one of the longest-running and largest privately-owned Corporate and Trustee providers on the Isle of Man. The company provides a suite of fiduciary services to clients internationally and on-Island.
The Care Awards are designed to recognise and reward the exceptional work that individuals and teams across Manx Care deliver to patients, service users and their families on a daily basis, and will follow a similar format to award events typically seen in NHS Trusts across the UK. There will be eleven Care Awards given out on the evening, ten of which will be decided upon within Manx Care following nominations being made internally across the organisation, with the Health and Care Professional of the Year being nominated by members of the Island’s community.
