- Trust of the Year - for efforts to attract people to work as HCSWs, especially via engagement with local communities in north west London and broader partnership work with local organisations.
- Collaboration & Partnership - for working with local colleges and secondary schools to support young people to consider HSCW roles as a career.

The awards are dedicated to honouring the remarkable contributions, dedication and professionalism exhibited by HCSWs, teams and trusts in London as they play a pivotal role in the delivery of exceptional patient care.
Professor Janice Sigsworth, director of nursing at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust said: "I'm delighted that our brilliant education team has been shortlisted for these three awards. This is testament to the team's passion and commitment to supporting healthcare support workers in our Trust and reaching out into our local communities to recruit new people to caring roles.
