Entries are now OPEN for the 2021 Health Business Awards!

 

The National Health Service is a truly unique and highly complex organisation. Responsible for over £150 billion of public sector spend, the sixth largest employer in the world is at the heart of the battle against the COVID 19 pandemic. Throughout the current crisis, the NHS has excelled in providing essential care to the UK’s 66 million residents. Its vaccination programme is already being used as an example of best practice as the world remains in partial lockdown. More than ever, it is vital that the dedication of its amazing doctors, nurses and support staff is recognised.

 

Since 2010, the Health Business Awards has been staged annually in order to recognise the many examples of innovation and excellence that happen every day in the NHS. Supported by Health Business magazine, the award categories incorporate facilities, technology, human resources, hospital management and transport as well as the Outstanding Achievement in Healthcare award, which is presented to an NHS organisation that has achieved sustained success in its role and has brought benefits to the wider NHS through dedication and expertise.

 

Dr Mark Porter MBE will present the 2021 Health Business Awards. As well as is a halftime NHS GP principal at Culverhay Surgery in Wotton-Under-Edge, Gloucestershire, a practice providing NHS services to 6000 patients, Mark is the medical correspondent at The Times, a columnist for Saga Magazine and has worked for the BBC since 1992, including anchoring Radio 4’s flagship medical series – Case Notes and Inside Health – for the last 2 decades. He was appointed MBE for services to healthcare in 2005, and recently received the Healthwatch-UK Award for his contribution to public understanding of evidence based medicine.

Entry for the 2021 Awards is now open and is free of charge to all NHS and supporting organisations.
