The highly anticipated moment for everyone in Healthcare Facilities Management has arrived—the official relaunch of the prestigious National MyPorter Awards and MyCleaning Awards. Once again, the Awards are proudly held in association with NHS England.
The Awards will take place in February, following a hugely successful fourth year, which was incredibly well attended and saw hundreds of nominations. In 2025, the occasion promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Held by GV Healthcare, the Awards will shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes within healthcare, offering the stage to some remarkable individuals and teams within healthcare portering and domestic services. Gold Sponsors, ISS and Compass Medirest, have reinforced their commitment to the Awards for 2025, demonstrating their huge appreciation of these vitally important teams.
The live events, held across two days, are to host over 300 delegates from across the UK, with a conference each day welcoming high-profile industry experts to offer exclusive insights into the latest advances in the worlds of Portering and Cleaning.
Once again, the Awards are open to all within Portering and Domestic Services from any healthcare setting across the UK (NHS or Private). There is also an International Award open to anyone within Portering or Domestic Services outside the UK, which celebrates the invaluable contributions of healthcare staff worldwide. While their roles may vary, their unwavering commitment to ensuring positive patient outcomes is universal.
The impact of previous winners goes far beyond the hospital in which they are based, with stories of extraordinary resilience, outstanding teamwork, and unparalleled patient care inspiring the judges and everyone lucky enough to hear them. So much so, for the past two years, award winners have made it onto Sky News to share more about their journeys.
Matt Wright, CEO at GV Healthcare, commented on the relaunch of the Awards:
“I am delighted that we have relaunched the MyPorter Awards and MyCleaning Awards for 2025. These are fantastic opportunities for individuals to come forward with inspiring stories of dedication, commitment and excellence within healthcare domestic services and portering teams.
“I would like to thank our partners and sponsors who have demonstrated their appreciation of those who are often unsung heroes within healthcare. They will play a huge part in ensuring the Awards truly recognise and celebrate these remarkable contributions to patient care.
“2025’s Awards are going to be the best yet! I would urge anyone to submit an entry to give someone they know the opportunity to receive the recognition they deserve.”
Phil Shelley, Senior Operational Manager at NHS England, said:
“We’re delighted to be involved in these prestigious awards once again, to highlight the fantastic work done by our Porters and our Cleaning Operatives, day in and day out, up and down the country.
“It's an honour to play a part in recognising these individuals for the praise these awards give them and have taken great personal joy in witnessing so many winners over the last few years at the live events as they continue to grow year on year.“It’s time to celebrate those deserving of higher recognition for their hard work and dedication within Portering and Domestic Services once again, so don’t hesitate: get your nominations in now.”
