Stagecoach is calling on the public to share stories of NHS workers who go above and beyond.
The 'NHS Heroes' competition, launched by Stagecoach South, invites nominations of healthcare staff to win a month of free bus travel as a token of gratitude for their outstanding service.
In honour of the NHS's 78th birthday, Stagecoach is encouraging communities across Hampshire to recognise GPs, nurses, paramedics, healthcare assistants, and hospital porters who have demonstrated exceptional care and dedication.

Marc Reddy, managing director at Stagecoach South, said: "The NHS is built on the dedication of incredible individuals who give their all to support our communities every single day. As we celebrate the health service's 78th birthday, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. Public transport connects so many healthcare staff to their shifts, and we are delighted to give the public a chance to reward their local NHS heroes with a month of free travel on us."
People can nominate their NHS hero by commenting on Stagecoach's dedicated 'NHS Heroes' competition post across its official social media channels, sharing the nominee's first name and the story of why they deserve recognition. There is no limit to the number of nominations that can be submitted.
Nominations are unlimited, and the competition will close on Friday, July 31.
The winner will be contacted directly by Stagecoach after the closing date.
The scheme is part of Stagecoach’s broader commitment to supporting healthcare staff, who already benefit from discounted bus travel across England and Scotland.
A full month of free bus travel will be awarded to one NHS worker, helping to ease their daily commute as a small gesture of thanks.
Stagecoach is the UK’s largest bus and coach operator, with a fleet of 8,300 vehicles connecting over 100 major towns and cities across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The company employs 25,000 people and is increasingly focused on sustainability, with more than 15 per cent of its fleet now electric.
NHS employees can access discounted Stagecoach travel to reach hospitals, GP surgeries, health centres, and other healthcare settings across England and Scotland.
