HSJ Value in Healthcare Awards winners revealed

The 20 winners (listed below) and finalists of the new HSJ Value in Healthcare Awards showcase outstanding efficiency and improvement in the NHS.

A successor to the HSJ Efficiency Awards, these awards recognise excellent use of resources and seek out examples of demonstrable improvement in outcomes, both within back office functions and clinical initiatives.

Not only does UK healthcare face unprecedented financial pressures, but there has never been a greater focus on care quality, outcomes and patient experience.
