E: 19/04 WIN! A Break For Your NHS Hero Thanks To The Malta Tourism Authority!



In these uncertain times we have even more to thank the National Health Service for, in particular those individuals who are working tirelessly on the front line risking their own safety to ensure that they can provide the best possible care to everyone in need during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
We believe that all NHS staff are heroes and here at talkSPORT we have teamed up with the Malta Tourism Authority to say thank you. We want you to nominate your NHS hero who is continuing to go above and beyond in the global fight against the coronavirus. Then, when the current situation has bettered and normal flight schedules resume, we want to reward them with an incredible trip for two to the stunning Mediterranean island of Malta.
One lucky NHS hero will be able to take up their well-deserved rest in the sunny Maltese Islands where they get to enjoy a luxurious 3-night stay for 2 in the 5* AX The Palace hotel.
With stunning bays, crystal clear waters and beautiful sandy beaches, Malta is the perfect place to take a well-earned break. But the cultural and historical offerings also mean that there is plenty to explore including fresh, traditional cuisine, plus with more than 300 historical sites and incredible architecture, there is always something to discover. Also, with over 300 days of sunshine a year, Malta is one of the sunniest destinations in Europe.
So if you know a National Health Service doctor, nurse, healthcare worker or support staff who is doing amazing work at this time, tell us why that is and they could be looking forward to this fantastic break in the Mediterranean sunshine.
