Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance is pleased to announce the nominees for its inaugural Excellence in Cancer Awards.
The awards were launched in June to celebrate the people working in cancer services in Humber and North Yorkshire for their hard work, innovation and unwavering commitment to deliver the best care for patients possible in the region.
A total of 55 nominations were received in the four award categories: clinical leadership; championing the patient voice; going the extra mile; and quality improvement and innovation.
In the coming weeks the list of nominees will be whittled down into a shortlist per category.
The award winners will be announced at the Cancer Alliance’s annual conference at the Lakeside Conference Centre, York Biotech Campus, in York on Thursday, 19 September.
Congratulations to all the nominees.
