NCA Staff Awards 2021 - Shortlisted Finalists revealed!

11 November 2021

We received 626 nominations for individuals and teams across our four Care Organisations, Diagnostics and Pharmacy Group and Corporate, Estates and Facilities teams.

The standard of nominations was very high and after much deliberation by our judging panels, we are delighted to announce this year’s shortlisted finalists. We hope you will join us in congratulating our shortlisted colleagues on their success.

Everyone across our organisation has worked incredibly hard to support our patients, service users and each other as part of our response to COVID, under very challenging circumstances. Every single person working across the NCA should be very proud of the contribution they have made over the past two years.
