We use our community of sponsors and supporters to promote the awards programme across the professions.
The ceremony is a lunchtime event, held at a central London hotel with over 300 guests made up of finalists, sponsors, supporters and VIPs. Our finalists are all offered free tickets to the event and are treated to a drinks reception, three-course lunch with wine, celebrity hosts, influential keynote speakers and entertainment, making it a very special day for hard-working healthcare professionals who would usually be in the lab or caring for a patient.
As we celebrate twenty years of recognising excellence, we are committed to showcasing innovation, creativity, and leadership, to ensure that each year builds on the foundations of the first.

These awards recognised the individuals and organisations proving what the NHS at its best can be – delivering innovation, improving outcomes, and leading the way towards a stronger, more sustainable health service.
