Recognising the Strongest Industry Relationships with the NHS

As the NHS shifts from planning to delivery, industry partnership has never been more central to how the health service transforms itself. The pressure to modernise at pace, reduce waiting times and shift care closer to home cannot be met by the NHS alone. 

The HSJ Partnership Awards is the only HSJ programme dedicated to recognising organisations that have successfully worked with the NHS to deliver innovative services, technologies and improvements for patients. 

These awards are judged by senior NHS figures, including many trust chief executives. HSJ’s unparalleled reach into and standing among NHS leaders ensures the shortlisted and winning entries are acknowledged by those with the greatest influence over the NHS’s investment decisions.
