They honour the incredible people that keep our health service running, from cleaners and porters, to nurses and doctors, and paramedics to mental healthcare professionals.

As the nation comes together to mark the NHS’s historic milestone, you can vote for the NHS star who has gone above and beyond to help you or your family.

The Prince and Princess of Wales joined the celebrations at the NHS Big Tea special party last week.

It was hosted by NHS Charities Together, The Sun's partner for the Who Cares Wins awards, of which the couple are patrons.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also paid tribute at a service for the occasion at Westminster Abbey on July 5 - the 75th birthday.

Nominations should be for something that has happened during the last 12 months, unless it's for an individual's hard work over many years, or even decades.

The ceremony will be held later this year and will be televised on Channel 4.

Last year’s nominees were joined by Anthony Joshua, Mr Sunak and Mel B at the event, hosted by Davina McCall.

David Beckham and Prince William also attended the previous year.

The closing date for entries is July 31, 2023.
