Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT) is delighted to announce the shortlisted nominees for its 2026 Hampshire Hospitals People Awards, following a record-breaking 904 nominations received from patients, members of the public and colleagues.
Now in its fourth year, the Hampshire Hospitals People Awards run annually and honour the extraordinary efforts of staff across the Trust’s hospitals in Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover. This year’s total represents the highest number of nominations ever received, highlighting the dedication, compassion and excellence demonstrated by teams across Hampshire Hospitals each day.
Members of the public, patients, and Hampshire Hospitals colleagues were invited to nominate a member of staff or team who had made a real difference in one of 13 categories, each designed to celebrate and recognise the achievements of individuals and teams who go above and beyond to support patients, colleagues and local communities.
Following a shortlisting process earlier this month, the staff members who have been shortlisted can now be revealed, with representation from a range of clinical and non-clinical roles from across the Trust.
Sue Harriman, Chief Executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Receiving more than 900 nominations for this year’s People Awards is truly amazing and reflects the difference our colleagues make to patients, their loved ones, and our communities every day. Reading through the nominations has been really inspiring and the stories shared are a powerful reminder of the compassion, kindness, dedication, and teamwork shown across Hampshire Hospitals, and of the extraordinary people we are fortunate to have working here.
“Congratulations to everyone who was nominated, and especially to those who have been shortlisted. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and look forward to celebrating their contributions at our special People Awards ceremony later this year.”
The winners will be announced at a special Hampshire Hospitals People Awards ceremony in the autumn, where colleagues and teams from across the Trust will come together to celebrate their achievements.
