Please make sure to include the nominee’s full name, their ward and job title, and your contact details. The details should be completed to the best of your knowledge, but receptionists can aid with any specific details.

 

Can I nominate more than one person?

YES, you can more than one person in a nomination but you can also specify if you want to keep them as separate nominations. Please write separate sentences or paragraphs for each nominee if you would like to keep them as separate nominations!

 

Can I nominate a whole team?

YES, we understand that it is difficult to choose only one or two individuals for an award and much of our care provided is achieved due to a team effort. Please specify which ward and/or team you are planning to nominate. You can specify names within this if you would like to.

 

Who can send in a nomination form?

What does the Nominee receive if they HAVE and HAVEN’T won?

If the nominee has the privilege of winning, a ceremony date will be organised in secret and the Honouree will not know of this until the day of the ceremony. They will receive:

• A DAISY Honouree Certificate within a Certificate Folder
• An Honouree Nomination Letter with their nomination story
• A DAISY Honouree Pin
• A Healing Touch Sculpture
• 1 Cinnamon bun cake and 2 other cakes to share with their team

• A Nomination Pin – if eligible 

 

I would love to attend the ceremony if my nominee wins – is this possible?

All nominators are provided an option to attend the ceremony if their nominee wins and our team will notify you for when this will be. These will appear as tick box options in both our tri-fold nomination forms and our electronic forms. Some wards may have older printed copies of the forms in their area, so please specify on the form if you would like to attend if your nominee wins.

 

How are the nomination forms processed and voted for?

When nominations are submitted, the DAISY and TULIP Admin team will type up the nominations sent within the month and the nominee’s details will then be anonymised before being sent for voting to our review panel, consisting of NUH Staff members. Our nomination review panel are then tasked with choosing a story of 1 RN Nominee, 1 RM Nominee and 1 TULIP Nominee to win per month.

Final votes are tallied and winners are announced to the panellists before ceremonies are organised.

 

Has my nomination story been voted for yet?

If we have received your nomination after the second week of the month, it will be anonymously voted for in the third week of the following month. Any nominations sent/received before this period will be voted for within the third week of the current month.

If this still hasn’t been actioned, kindly e-mail DAISY.Awards@nuh.nhs.uk with your request and we can check our database.

 

My Nominee still hasn’t received a nomination pin for their nomination – what happened?

Our eligibility criteria for a nomination pin is as follows:

• 1^st and 2^nd Nomination – 1 Single nomination pin each
• 3^rd Nomination – 1 Multi-nomination pin 
• 4^th – 9^th Nomination – No Nominations pins provided
• 10^th Nomination – 1 Platinum Multi-nomination pin

If you are the nominee and believe you are to receive a nomination pin, please e-mail DAISY.Awards@nuh.nhs.uk with the approximate date you believe you were nominated and the full name of the nominator (if eligible).

Please further understand that if you haven’t received a nomination pin yet, it is likely due to limitations in inventory and delays in shipping orders from USA. However, you can still contact us on the e-mail addresses mentioned above, just to be on the safe side.

 

I have lost my nominee pin, can I get a replacement?

YES, you absolutely can! Please send your replacement request to DAISY.Awards@nuh.nhs.uk with your work address and we’ll send this out immediately.

Please note that this is only available for Daisy single, multi and platinum nomination pins, not honouree pins.
