NHS 75th Anniversary Gala searching for NHS Stars to celebrate

The search has been launched for NHS Stars to be celebrated at the 2023 NHS Gala, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the NHS this autumn, presented by Adam Blanshay  Productions in partnership with NHS Charities Together.

Members of the public can nominate  themselves or any inspiring NHS workers, volunteers or patients they know to be an NHS Star through an online form or video submission.  

Adam Blanshay Productions and NHS Charities Together will select several NHS Stars from the nominees later in the year. The NHS Stars will be the inspiration for new songs written about  them and their heroic work in the NHS for a new song cycle, Newfound Hope Songs, which has been commissioned specially and will be performed at an epic West End concert gala in the autumn.  

Do you know a superstar doctor or nurse, courageous patient, outstanding ambulance worker,  health support worker or psychologist? Maybe you’re an exceptional occupational therapist,  know a brilliant pharmacist or have a friend who is an amazing paediatrician? Head to the easy to-use online form here to submit a nomination and help us find our NHS Stars.  

Ellie Orton OBE, Chief Executive at NHS Charities Together said: “We are so looking forward to this event, which will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible people of  the NHS in its 75th anniversary year. The NHS is one of the biggest employers in Europe and  everyone has a story to tell about their fantastic friend, neighbour or family member who goes  above and beyond to help care for our nation’s health. These people all deserve recognition, and  we’re excited to tell their stories in a way that’s never been done before.”
