- remote or rural staff at the heart of their communities
- staff with a connection to the birth of the NHS in Scotland
- staff who have received some accolade – including an honour (OBE/MBE) – for their contribution.
Successful candidates will be expected to attend a judging session in London which will involve an overnight stay and a full day of filming. Dates are still to be confirmed, however, will be between mid-September and mid-October. Please note that all expenses will be covered by the production company.
