 The Wales Care Awards are an annual event run by Care Forum Wales to showcase best practice across the care sector. This year they’re due to take place on October 29 in Cardiff’s City Hall.

Anyone involved in the care industry can nominate an individual or a team for one of 22 awards. So whether you’d like to nominate an outstanding nurse, think your catering team are unsung heroes or you have a hard-working manager whose efforts deserve recognition, this is a chance to have your say.

The awards ceremony, sponsored by Barclays Bank, is open to all who wish to attend. The event costs £70 per ticket – but your lucky nominee and a guest go free and get overnight accommodation at a nearby four-star hotel in Cardiff.  To download table booking form click here.

The Welsh Assembly Government’s deputy minister for health and social services, Gwenda Thomas, will present the prestigious awards which come in three categories – gold, silver and bronze – and are an important part of raising the profile of care workers and educating the public about the vital work we do.

Attending the ceremony is also an occasion to mingle with fellow care sector staff, compare best practice and, of course, to have some well-deserved fun. So come along and enjoy the evening – this is your time to shine.
