HSJ has been named Medical Publication of the Year at the prestigious Medical Journalists’ Association Summer Awards.

HSJ won due to its “unequalled breadth and depth of analysis”, its influence in shaping the direction of health reform, and its new service, HSJ Local, which analyses the performance of every single NHS organisation.

Editor Alastair McLellan was also shortlisted in the Health Editor of the Year category, while senior correspondent Dave West was shortlisted in the Medical Journalist of the Year category.
