There's still time to nominate health heroes for Best of Health Awards

And with time running out, we want you to nominate who should be in the running for The News’ Best of Health Awards 2016.

You’ve got until this Friday to choose from the list of categories and tell us people or organisations who should make the shortlist.

All those who do will be invited to our awards night at the Guildhall in Portsmouth next month.

Mark Waldron, editor of The News, said: ‘The Best of Health Awards is a great way of honouring all those who devote so much time and effort to helping others.

‘The News holds many awards to champion the great and the good across the Portsmouth area, and this is another example of turning the spotlight on people in our patch.

‘The Best of Health Awards ceremony always proves to be a great night and we want to make this year the biggest and best yet.

‘That’s why we are encouraging as many people as possible to nominate ahead of next week’s deadline using the information below.’

All entries for the Best of Health Awards will be considered by a panel of judges, who will pick winners and runners-up.

A full nomination list will feature in The News before the awards night at the Guildhall in Portsmouth on Friday, October 14.
