Nominate your maternity heroes!

Nominations for the UK MUM Awards 2026 have now closed.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination and helped us recognise the exceptional maternity and neonatal teams making a difference to families across the UK.

Further updates will be shared soon.

Every day, maternity and neonatal teams make life-changing differences for families across the UK.

This is your opportunity to recognise the individuals or teams who went above and beyond to support you and your baby.

Did your maternity or neonatal team make a difference when it mattered most?

If so, nominate the professionals who supported you before, during or after your baby’s birth.

Who can be nominated?

You can nominate any maternity or neonatal team, department, or individual who provided exceptional care.

Important information

Nominations close on 20th July 2026.

To submit a nomination, your baby must be between 0 and 6 years old.

Awards categories

Our expert judging panel will choose a winning entry for each region in the UK, and a national award winner will then be chosen from that selection. There is also a Community Award which will go to a national healthcare team who went above and beyond in an out-of-hospital setting (such as community midwives, paramedics, GPs).

The family who nominate the national award winner will win a short break to Center Parcs!
