Nominate a Healthcare Champion – NRAS Awards 2026
2026 marks a major milestone for the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) — our 25th anniversary. To celebrate, we are proud to relaunch our Healthcare Champions Awards, a national initiative recognising the dedication, innovation and compassion of professionals supporting people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
If you or a loved one has been supported by an exceptional rheumatologist, nurse, therapist, pharmacist or wider team, this is your opportunity to say “thank you”. For the half a million people in the UK living with RA and JIA, outstanding care can be truly life‑changing — and these awards shine a spotlight on those who go above and beyond.
Nominating is quick and simple. You can submit your nomination online using your smartphone — just scan the QR code or complete the form at your convenience. Healthcare Champion Awards Nomination Form
