Extraordinary People Awards

Our NHS staff and volunteers deliver extraordinary work every day.

Through our Extraordinary People Awards we aim to recognise and celebrate their efforts and achievements.

2025 awards

There are 12 categories in our awards, which link to our Trust values, and celebrate the outstanding care, commitment and expertise of our staff.

We are asking patients, visitors and carers to nominate a staff member, team or volunteer in the Extraordinary Care category.

If you’ve had excellent care from an individual or team, now’s your chance to recognise their hard work and compassion by nominating them for an award.

Nominate them here.

You can download and print a paper nomination form here.

Nominations close on Friday 30 May 2025 at 11.59pm.

Our winners will be announced at a special celebration event at Sandy Park, Exeter, on Friday 3 October 2025.

We are looking for corporate sponsorship for our celebration event. If you’re interested, take a look at our sponsorship opportunities.

2024 awards

We received over 800 nominations last year, which is testament to how grateful people are for the hard work of our staff and volunteers and their commitment to providing amazing care. 

The Royal Devon’s finalists came together for an awards ceremony at Sandy Park, Exeter where the winners were announced and presented with their awards.
