Nominate for public sector awards

It’s time to get nominating for two sets of public sector awards sponsored by UNISON Scotland. The Scottish Health Awards, run by the Daily Record, and the Herald Society Awards are both inviting nominations in a wide range of categories.

UNISON sponsors the Support Worker Award in the Scottish Health Awards. This recognises the indispensable support staff without whom NHS Scotland couldn’t function – auxiliaries, cleaners and porters, to name just a few.

The aim is to try and highlight people who might be in jobs that normally don’t have a high profile and to recognise their commitment to the NHS and their loyalty and devotion to patients.

In the Herald Society Awards, UNISON sponsors the Outstanding Public Service Team of the Year.

The Scottish Health Awards, closing date 6 September are at www.quaydigitalscotland.co.uk/sites/events/a_health_awards/index.html

The Herald Society Awards, closing date 3 September, are at www.heraldscotland.com/go/societyawards10.
