It is an opportunity for patients, their families and carers to say a special 'thank you' to the staff they feel have made a real difference during their time in our hospitals and therefore deserve recognition.

We invite nominations of teams and individual members of staff from our four main hospitals and the wide range of services we provide in community settings.

Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations for the Patients' Choice Award 2026.

The winner was announced at an event at the John Radcliffe Hospital on Thursday 18 June.

We are grateful to Oxford Hospitals Charity for their support of the Patients' Choice Award.
