Junior Doctor Awards logo.jpgThe Junior Doctor Awards celebrate the dedication, compassion and skill of junior doctors working across Hampshire Hospitals.

The awards give patients and their relatives, as well as colleagues, the opportunity to show how much they appreciate outstanding junior doctors by nominating them for a special award.

They recognise the outstanding treatment and care provided by junior doctors, who play a vital role across the Trust. We really want to hear from people who feel that doctors working for our Trust have provided exceptional, compassionate care or gone above and beyond to help their patients.
