Recognising and appreciating our incredible people
At DHU Healthcare, we celebrate the everyday brilliance of our colleagues.
Whether it’s a heartfelt thank you, a formal award nomination, or marking a long-service milestone, we take time to recognise those who go above and beyond.
Because when we support, appreciate and lift each other, we build a stronger, more connected DHU.
Shout Out: because a quick thank you goes a long way
Our Shout Out scheme is a simple way to recognise everyday acts of kindness, teamwork, and excellence.
Whether someone supported you through a tough shift or went the extra mile for a patient, a Shout Out is your way to say thank you.
Every Shout Out is shared, shining a light on the people who make a difference, every single day.
The CARE Awards: celebrating our values in action

The annual DHU CARE Awards highlight the individuals and teams who embody our values.
Colleagues are nominated for awards that reflect our CARE values and broader organisational goals, from clinical excellence to inspiring leadership.
Each year, we come together to celebrate our finalists and winners, recognising those who’ve gone above and beyond to support patients, colleagues, and communities.
Loyal Service Awards: commitment deserves recognition
Our Loyal Service Awards celebrate colleagues who’ve been part of DHU for 5, 10, 15, 20 years and beyond.
Held twice a year, these events bring teams together to mark each milestone and thank people for their passion, loyalty, and dedication.
These awards reflect the strength and stability of our teams and the individual journeys that make DHU Healthcare a great place to work.
People Excellence Award: celebrating the extra mile
Some people shine so brightly, they deserve a little extra recognition.
Our People Excellence Awards celebrate individuals who consistently go the extra mile; those who lift others, spread positivity, lead by example, and show up each day with compassion and a commitment to excellence.
Winners receive a £100 voucher and a £100 charity donation to a cause of their choice, because recognising excellence should also give something back.
A culture of recognition
At DHU Healthcare, recognising our people is part of who we are, from everyday thank-yous to organisation-wide awards.
It lifts morale, builds connection, and reminds us of the impact of kindness, effort and teamwork.
When you join DHU, you’ll join a place where your work is seen, valued, and celebrated.
