Nominations remain open for the Our People Monthly Awards
Nominations remain open for the Our People Monthly Awards, giving you the chance to recognise a colleague for going above and beyond in their role, demonstrating our values and behaviours.
We know that every day, there are many examples of colleagues living our behaviours and demonstrating our values as they go above and beyond to make a difference to their colleagues and our communities.
Despite the ongoing challenges we are facing in the wider NHS and in light of the cost reductions announcement, the Our People Monthly Awards are a chance for you to continue to support and praise your colleagues and offer a well-needed boost.
Thank you to everyone who has already submitted nominations, and congratulations again to everyone who has already been recognised with a monthly award or received a nomination.

Other ways you can say thank you
We also have physical and digital thank you cards which you can send to any colleague across the organisation.
Physical thank you cards are available from the main reception desk at Scarsdale, and next to the tea and coffee supplies at the Council House in Derby.
If you would like to send a digital thank you card, simply download the below template, copy and paste it into an email, and write a message to the person you want to thank and send it across to them.
We also have supplies of our thank you stickers – please continue to send these to colleagues as a way of expressing your gratitude.
