Care that changes lives

Honouring Those Who Heal, Support and Restore

For many people within the Armed Forces community, life both during and after service can present significant challenges, in the form of a journey of recovery, rehabilitation and the ongoing management of physical or mental health challenges. During this time, the right support delivered with skill, empathy and consistency can be life-changing.

Behind that support lie the individuals and teams who give of more than their professional expertise. They bring understanding, patience and a deep commitment to the people they serve.

The Healthcare and Rehabilitation Award exists to recognise and celebrate those contributions.

Recognising Commitment to Health and Wellbeing

This award honours a person or team that has demonstrated a major commitment and contribution to supporting the physical or mental welfare of serving or former members of the Armed Forces community.

This may be through healthcare provision, therapeutic treatment, or rehabilitation services, whether delivered in clinical settings or community environments, or through innovative support programmes.

What unites all nominees is impact: lives improved, confidence restored, and individuals supported to live with dignity independence and hope.

Compassion in Action

Healthcare and rehabilitation within the Armed Forces community require more than just practical skills. There’s a strong need for cultural understanding, trust and continuity of care. Those working in this space often support individuals through some of the most challenging periods of their lives. They listen, adapt, advocate and persevere, often over long periods of time.

Their work helps people reconnect with their bodies, their minds, their families and their futures.

Why a Nomination Matters

For healthcare and rehabilitation professionals, recognition is rarely sought. Their focus is on outcomes, not accolades, so being nominated for this award is deeply meaningful. It acknowledges dedication that may otherwise go unseen and affirms that their compassion, expertise and persistence have made a genuine difference.

A nomination also helps to raise awareness of best practice, shining a light on approaches that could benefit others across the Armed Forces community.

Who Has Supported Recovery and Wellbeing?

Take a moment to reflect.

• Who has supported you, or someone you know, through recovery or rehabilitation?

• Who has gone above and beyond to ensure care was person-centred, respectful and effective?

• Who embodies commitment to wellbeing, day in and day out?

Often, the most deserving individuals and teams would never put themselves forward. Your nomination can help ensure their contribution is recognised and celebrated.
