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 TULIP Honouree Certificate within a Certificate Folder;
• An Honouree Nomination Letter with their nomination story;
• A TULIP Honouree Pin;
• 1 Set of Party Cupcakes with TULIP cupcake toppers to share with their team;
• A bunch of artificial TULIPs.

If the nominee hasn’t been chosen as the monthly Honouree, they will still receive the following:

• A Nomination Letter with their nomination story;
• A Nomination Pin (currently being processed for future TULIP nominees).

 

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 TULIP.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?

TULIP nominee pins will be coming soon and be rewarded to all future nominees once everything has been finalised. Please see the upcoming eligibility criteria for the nomination pin below.

Our eligibility criteria for a nomination pin is as follows:

• 1st and 2nd Nomination – 1 Single Nomination pin each (COMING SOON!);
• 3^rd Nomination – 1 Multi-nomination pin (COMING SOON!);
• 4^th + Nominations – No Nominations pins provided.

 

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

YES, you absolutely can! Please send your replacement request to TULIP.Awards@nuh.nhs.uk with your work address and we’ll send this out immediately. Replacements will be available for TULIP single, multi and honouree pins.
