The Rutland Snowdrop Award recognises and celebrates exceptional people who work in a caring profession.
Do you know a professional health or care worker or a care team who made a real difference to someone in their final days and weeks, by going 'above and beyond' to ensure this person had the best end of life possible?
You can nominate a member of staff in a care home, a medical professional, a nurse, or social worker or a group of care professionals for the Rutland Snowdrop Award.
​
Whilst the Care Quality Commission evaluates the quality and standards of care, the Rutland Snowdrop Award focuses on the human side of care and recognises people who work in care who go 'above and beyond' their day to day work responsibilities to help improve the end of life experience of individuals and their families. The Award celebrates people who work in care who show true compassion and understanding and who are able to make a positive difference to those they care for.
