It's time to celebrate your healthcare heroes
Do you know an individual who has gone above and beyond in the past year and deserves special recognition for their outstanding work?
If so, now’s the time to nominate them in our Recognition Awards 2025.
Our fantastic values we’re kind, we’re fair, we listen, we care, and our strategy’s big priorities and core commitments, are the focus for our awards this year.
Our ‘Governors’ Award’ is for an individual who has gone ‘above and beyond’ to put the trust values of ‘we’re kind’ and ‘we care’ into action. Who do you know who is not afraid to inspire, innovate and ‘go the extra mile’ to make life better for those who need our help?
Our ‘Shadow Executive Award’ is for an individual who has gone ‘above and beyond’ to help Make Oxleas the Best Place to Work. Who goes out of their way to give support and take care of their colleagues? This could be through giving colleagues the opportunity to develop and thrive, enabling them to feel supported to give their best every day, and through treating them kindly, fairly and with care.
Our ‘Volunteer of the Year Award’ is for an Oxleas volunteer who has made an outstanding contribution through volunteering within our services or supporting our service users, carers and staff.

Filming and photography requests
We receive documentary, location and broadcast filming requests on a regular basis – we consider all proposals on an individual basis and will try to accommodate proposals where possible, if appropriate.
No photography or filming is permitted without prior arrangement and agreement. Our patients always come first and we have a duty to protect their safety and confidentiality. Anyone found filming or taking photographs on the trust premises without the permission of the trust’s communications team will be asked to leave by the security department and may face prosecution.
Unless agreed otherwise, film crews and photographers must be accompanied by a member of the Communications Team at all times.
