Support for Award Ceremonies

We recognise the role of awards and associated ceremonies in acknowledging staff and supporting staff morale, and is proud to support Celebrating Success, the official NHS Lothian staff award ceremony.

We are conscious that there are a number of other awards that NHS Lothian staff may meet the nomination criteria for, and because of the excellence of the NHS Lothian staff team, they are frequently finalists and winners and receive invitations to ceremonies. NHS Lothian Charity is, however, unable to consider or support requests for funding to attend ceremonies unless they meet the criteria below.

The nomination was made by a member of the public.

The awards are run on a not-for-profit basis.
The awards are administered by a recognised professional body or by a national publication.

In the event of an individual nomination, NHS Lothian Charity will consider the funding of a maximum of two tickets for NHS Lothian staff to attend, and, in the event of a team nomination, up to a maximum of six tickets for NHS Lothian staff.
Under no circumstances will NHS Lothian Charity fund the purchase of alcohol.
