Every year, the Scottish health awards recognise and reward dedicated NhS staff, support workers, volunteers and specialist teams who go the extra mile to provide outstanding patient care.

Nominations are being sought from those who want to acknowledge the quality of treatment they have received, either for themselves or a loved one.

Whether in hospital, in the community, in a GP surgery, or at the dentist, this is an opportunity to reward the people who give so much, helping the NhS provide world-class care to the people of Scotland.

Last year there were five finalists from Greater Glasgow and Clyde with Jennifer Rodgers, Lead Nurse at Yorkhill hospital taking home the Nurse award and Gillian Mackinnon and Linsey McLaren from Drumchapel health centre winning the Top Team award.

There are 16 award categories, including the Nurses award, the Volunteers award, the Top Team award and the renowned Doctors award.

The awards will culminate in a prestigious award ceremony on the 6 November 2014 at the corn Exchange in Edinburgh.
