The awards are the largest celebration of healthcare excellence in the UK, highlighting the most innovative and successful people and projects in the sector.

HSJ editor Alastair McLellan said: “The 2014 HSJ Awards will be the largest celebration of healthcare excellence held in this country within living memory. The awards champion innovation and endeavour in over 150 NHS organisations, while the 22 category winners have been chosen by 84 judges working over a total of 500 hours.

“The NHS is constantly in the news – and often for the wrong reasons – but the HSJ Awards are a powerful reminder of why Britain’s health services are the envy of much of the world.”

Now in its 33rd year, this year’s event saw a record number of entries, with over 500 different organisations entering.

The awards were created in 1981 to recognise, on a national platform, the projects and initiatives that deliver healthcare excellence and innovation. By shining a spotlight on cutting-edge innovations and best practice, the awards give impetus to improving the quality of health care in the UK.
