Who Cares Wins Awards 2022

NHS Charities Together (NHSCT) is partnering with The Sun for the annual Who Cares Wins awards, which honour some of the many people who work across the health service.

Last year’s ceremony was broadcast on Channel 4, hosted by Davina McCall and attended by many famous faces including HRH The Duke of Cambridge and David Beckham.

Dame Deborah James formally opened this year’s nominations last week asking for people to nominate ‘the NHS heroes who have gone above and beyond for you, show them how much they mean to us all and let us all thank them.’
