Frequently asked questions

A Cavell team member will get in touch to discuss with you the person you have nominated. We are keen for you and your colleague to share your story with Cavell to help celebrate the amazing work nurses, midwives, nursing associates and HCAs do every day in the UK.

If your nomination is successful, we will send you a dazzling Cavell Star medal for you and your team to present to your star colleague. This can either be part of your existing staff awards programme, or an informal workplace presentation, whichever you prefer. The award is from you, to them. We’ll also provide a beautiful Cavell Star pin badge for your colleague to wear every day as a reminder of how they shine.

It’s free! There’s no cost involved for you or your employer. Our generous sponsors are supporting the Cavell Star Awards programme because they, like us, want to celebrate the amazing dedication that nursing professionals show every day in the UK. Cavell is looking for good news stories about nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants and nursing associates, so we’re keen to explore with you how to share you and your colleague’s story.
