The National MyPorter Awards & MyCleaning Awards Return for 2024



It's that time of year again, when the unsung heroes of healthcare are set to bask in the limelight as we proudly announce the resurgence of the MyPorter Awards and MyCleaning Awards. Now in their fourth consecutive year, these prestigious accolades are dedicated to celebrating the invaluable contributions of Portering and Healthcare Cleaning professionals, whose pivotal role often goes unrecognised but greatly influences patient flow and positive outcomes.


The National MyCleaning Awards and MyPorter Awards are not just a recognition; they are a celebration of excellence within the healthcare workforce. This year, we invite you to light the path for someone you believe deserves that extra applause and acknowledgment. Beyond the accolades, those shortlisted by our distinguished panel of judges will partake in an unforgettable live ceremony set against the backdrop of central London. Here, they will revel in an inspiring evening of camaraderie with peers who share their passion for shaping the future of healthcare.


In association with NHS England, both awards ceremonies have got prominent attention, with esteemed figures such as Emma Brookes, Phil Shelley, Fiona Daly, and Simon Corben supporting last year's event. Emma and Phil serve as respected judges and will be joined this year by Tim Radcliffe, enhancing the panel further. The rigorous judging process is scheduled for mid-January.


Portering and Cleaning roles within the healthcare sector often operate behind the scenes, overshadowed by the broader world. This is your opportunity to ensure they receive the recognition they rightfully deserve. In recent years, the awards have achieved national attention, featuring prominently on platforms like Times Radio and Sky News. Notably, last year, Jemma & Danny Roscoe, crowned winners of the MyPorter Awards – Portering Team of The Year, took centre stage during an engaging interview on Sky News' The Kay Burley Show. These moments underscore the vital role played by Porters and Cleaners within the NHS, an integral part of a well-oiled machine.

Let us join hands to celebrate these unsung heroes once more. Waste no time; submit your nominations today.
