Emma Caldwell returns to host the 2025 OSCARS!
We're thrilled to announce that Emma Caldwell, Nottingham's very own TV presenter and radio host, is returning to host this year's OSCARS ceremony, at Crowne Plaza, Nottingham - in July! Emma's energy, warmth, and connection to our local community brought an incredible spark to last year's event, and we can't wait to have her back on stage as we celebrate the outstanding achievements of our volunteers, colleagues, and teams.
Emma shared her excitement about returning: "It's an absolute honour to be invited back to host the OSCARS. Last year's event was so inspiring, and I was truly moved by the incredible stories of dedication and care. I'm thrilled to celebrate the amazing people who make such a difference in healthcare-it's going to be another unforgettable evening!"
Nominations for our Outstanding Service Contribution and Recognition Scheme (OSCARS) for 2025 are now open. Don't delay your nomination as they close on Monday 10 March. The OSCARS is our awards scheme for all our colleagues and volunteers, including our Bank workers and is celebrating its 22nd year this year! This is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding work that makes a difference to the communities we serve.
Last year we received nearly 800 nominations, which is fantastic, but we know there are even more colleagues and volunteers who deserve recognition. Everyone nominated receives a letter from our Chair, Paul Devlin and Chief Executive, Ifti Majid to let them know that they are appreciated. Nominations can be made by colleagues, patients, carers, system partners or anyone who has seen how brilliant our people are, so please promote the awards far and wide. To make a nomination, you just need to fill out a very simple online form.
