Value Maker Annual Awards 2023

Nominations are now open!

The annual Future-Focused Finance Value Maker Awards will be presented at our Value Maker Annual Conference on Friday 24th November 2023. The awards recognise the hard work of our Value Makers in their organisations and wider health communities, and offer an excellent opportunity to recognise achievements within NHS finance nationally.

This year, we have created new award categories that encompass the qualities for the 4 strengths but are in line with the ONF programmes – please see below.

We believe this to be a wonderful way to recognise hard work and commitment of both individuals and groups within our Value Maker network. It allows them to receive national recognition alongside their colleagues and friends. We welcome submissions from staff of all grades who have demonstrated exceptional commitment in the past year.

We will accept nominations of individuals or groups/teams of Value Makers. Please note you cannot nominate yourself.

Please read our Value Maker Award Nomination Guide. 

Submit nominations by October 9 via this form – Value Maker Annual Awards Nomination (office.com)
