Take a peek at the Royal Surrey Stars finalists | News

Royal Surrey is delighted to launch its dedicated Royal Surrey Stars website celebrating the individuals and teams who have been recognised for their outstanding contributions throughout 2026 in our annual staff awards.

The Royal Surrey Stars Awards provide an opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to people who go above and beyond every day to support patients, colleagues and services across the Trust.

Alongside staff nominations, two special awards are chosen entirely by patients and their families: the Patients' Choice Individual Award and the Patients' Choice Team Award. These awards recognise those whose care, compassion and support have made a lasting difference during a patient's journey. Royal Surrey is incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to share their experiences and submit nominations. The finalists for both Patients' Choice awards can be viewed on the Royal Surrey Stars website.     

This year's awards have attracted a record number of nominations. All nominees have received certificates, and finalists across every category have now been notified. More than 1,000 heartfelt messages have been shared throughout the process, highlighting the dedication, kindness and professionalism shown by staff every day. The stories behind each finalist's nomination and why they’ve been selected for special recognition this year can be found on the Royal Surrey Stars website.      

The winners will be announced at a special evening of celebration at Guildford's Harbour Hotel, made possible through the generous support of organisations that work in partnership with the Trust. Medirest and MTX are this year's headline sponsors, with Wavenet, Russell Cawberry Ltd, Quantum Aseptics and Royal Surrey Charity also providing valued support.
