Nominations open for the Royal Devon’s Extraordinary People Awards 2025

People across Devon are being encouraged to put forward local NHS staff and volunteers for an award.

The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has launched its Extraordinary People Awards.

The Trust is asking patients and carers to nominate a staff member, team or volunteer in the ‘Extraordinary Care’ category. If you, or someone you know received excellent care from an individual or team at the Royal Devon, you can nominate them here.

Sam Higginson, Chief Executive at the Royal Devon said: "Our Extraordinary People Awards are such an important way to recognise the hard work and commitment of staff across our services and celebrate the incredible things they do!

"We had over 800 nominations last year and I want to encourage you to nominate those hospital staff and volunteers who have gone the extra mile in providing care at the Royal Devon. We know how hard they work every day, often in challenging circumstances – this is just one of the ways we can say thank you."

Patients and carers can make their nomination here, or to request a paper copy of the nomination form email rduh.employee.experience@nhs.net.
