If you have received care that goes above and beyond the call of duty, we want to hear from you.

Every year the Kent Messenger presents an accolade nominated by our readers at the NHS trust’s Staff Star Awards.

The Hospital Heroes award applies to staff, volunteers or entire wards of hospitals in Maidstone or Tunbridge Wells hospitals.

Last year Dr Russell Burcombe and his team from Kent Oncology Centre won the honour for their work caring for cancer patients at Maidstone Hospital.

To nominate a hero email messengernews@thekmgroup.co.uk or write to Hospital Hero Award, Kent Messenger, 6 & 7 Middle Row, Maidstone, ME14 1TG.

Nominations close on Friday, October 23. Winners will be announced at an award ceremony on Friday, November 20.
