We have today revealed the shortlist for the 2016 HSJ Awards.

The shortlisted organisations will now complete presentations and interviews to a specific judging panel made up of senior and influential figures from the health sector.

The winners will be announced at a prestigious ceremony on 23 November at the InterContinental O2, London.

Find out how to attend the HSJ Awards.

For 35 years the HSJ Awards, have recognised, celebrated, and promoted the finest achievements in NHS, and showcased them to the service’s most influential leaders.

Over that time the HSJ Awards have grown to become the most sought after accolade in British healthcare – and very probably the largest awards programme of its type in the world. With 23 categories to choose from, the awards reflect the full spectrum of the NHS’s services and challenges.

Among the judges this year are Salford Royal Foundation Trust chief excutive Sir David Dalton, NHS Improvement chief executive Jim Mackey, and Care Quality Commission chief inspector of primary care Steve Field.

HSJ editor Alastair McLellan said: ”With the NHS experiencing a tough time as funding fails to keep up with demand, the HSJ Awards are once again the best reminder of the excellence the service is capable of. Taken together the entries to the HSJ Awards represent work which, directly or indirectly, has saved thousands of lives and enhanced many times that number.”
