Apetito launches Healthcare Estates & Facilities Heroes Competition
Abstract
To celebrate ‘exceptional’ individuals and teams that stand out in Healthcare Estates and Facilities (E&F) departments across the UK, meals provider Apetito has launched its nationwide competition for 2026 that allows hospitals to nominate their unsung E&F heroes.

Whether it’s the teams working outside to maintain the grounds and gardens, those keeping the buildings safe and secure, caterers preparing nutritious meals daily, or the hands ensuring a clean and tidy ward environment – the competition looks to recognise the essential work they do to ensure excellent patient care.

Nominations are open until Friday 10th April. To say ‘thank you’ for all that they do, individuals and teams can be nominated for one of the following six categories to be in with a chance of winning a luxury hamper:

  • Making a Real Difference – Recognising a remarkable member of the team who always goes ‘above and beyond’ to create a positive impact.
  • Leading The Way in Sustainability – This category honours an individual or team which exemplifies sustainable practice and champions sustainable initiatives across their site(s).
  • Catering Champion – Celebrating an outstanding member of the catering team who has improved inpatient catering operations, food quality and/or the overall mealtime experience, helping to enhance the wellbeing of patients.
  • Community Impact Award – This category recognises a member of the E&F team who consistently goes ‘above and beyond’ to support their local community.
  • Rising Star – For an emerging talent within E&F who is at the early stage of their career, having joined the sector within the past two years.
  • Team of the Year – This category celebrates the outstanding achievements of three regional E&F teams across England, Wales and Scotland that have evidenced excellent collaboration and synergy.
