A SEARCH has been launched for Keighley's healthcare heroes.

Bradford District Care Trust is seeking nominations from the public for workers and volunteers who have gone above and beyond.

Its staff include health visitors, district and school nurses, mental health care assistants, psychiatrists and end-of-life care staff .

Simon Large – chief executive of the trust, which runs the Airedale Centre of Mental Health at Steeton – said: "This is an opportunity for people to nominate staff who they feel deserve a special thank-you for going the extra mile to provide outstanding patient care and treatment."

Shortlisted nominees in the annual You're a Star Awards will be invited to a presentation evening in July, when winners will be announced.
