Judges

Our esteemed panel of judges includes leading figures from the health and care profession, alongside past Nursing Times Workforce Award winners who understand what it takes to drive excellence.

Each entry will undergo a rigorous and fair judging process. Our judges will carefully review, score, and assess every submission to determine the 2025 shortlist. In most cases, shortlisted entries will then be discussed in depth during a virtual judging roundtable, where our expert panel will debate and select the final winners.

However, finalists for the following categories only, will be required to attend a face-to-face presentation and interview with our esteemed judging panel to determine the winners.  They are:

  • Best UK Employer of the Year for Nursing Staff
  • Best Social Responsibility Programme
  • Best Use of Workplace Technology
  • Diversity and Inclusion Champion of the Year
  • Manager of the Year (Non-Clinical)
  • Nurse Manager of the Year  
  • Workforce Team of the Year  

 

This judging will take place from 13 – 15 October 2025 at our central London office:
