North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership (NAHSCP) is inviting people who live or work in North Ayrshire to nominate individuals or teams for a Partnership Award, with the event this year focusing on the theme of wellbeing.
The awards will celebrate the staff teams and individuals who work in health and social care in North Ayrshire, as well as the crucial work of those in our communities who support others.
So whether it’s a neighbour, volunteer or carer who is always there for you, an individual or team from social services or the NHS, a charity, care provider, or a local community group, NAHSCP would love to hear about them.

Councillor Margaret Johnson, cabinet member for Health and Social Care at North Ayrshire Council, said: “North Ayrshire has a wealth of dedicated people who go the extra mile to look after the wellbeing of others – whether that be patients or service users, members of our communities, their own colleagues, or family, friends and neighbours.
“In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to look after our own physical and mental wellbeing, as well as supporting those around us to do the same.
“We want to celebrate those people who go above and beyond to support wellbeing in North Ayrshire, ensuring they receive the extra recognition they deserve.
“We look forward to reading all about their fantastic work in your nomination forms.”
