The coronavirus pandemic has shown that our health service would not be the fantastic organisation it is without the dedicated staff and volunteers that support it every single day.

Therese said: "Two years ago, the NHS Parliamentary Awards were set-up to recognise outstanding individuals. It is an opportunity for MPs to nominate those who work in the health service for an award – and this year I’m looking forward to having the chance to nominate some excellent local people and services."

If you’d like to put forward a nomination then check out the award categories here – www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-parliamentary-a…/categories-criteria/ and email me the details to therese.coffey.mp@parliament.uk before the 26th August.
