The HSJ Awards are not just a celebration of success stories but also a platform to shape the future of the NHS. 

For 45 years, the HSJ Awards have been the most prestigious recognition of healthcare excellence in the UK. More than an awards programme, they provide a platform to showcase the most impactful projects, best practice initiatives, and transformative innovations shaping the future of NHS care.
 
The 2025 HSJ Awards will take place at a defining moment for the NHS, as it faces both immense pressures and the challenge of renewal. While the system continues to grapple with workforce constraints, financial pressures, and rising demand, the achievements of NHS teams demonstrate that progress is not only possible but already happening. These awards will recognise the individuals and organisations proving what the NHS at its best can be - delivering innovation, improving outcomes, and leading the way towards a stronger, more sustainable health service.

WHY ENTER THE HSJ AWARDS?

Winning or being shortlisted reinforces your organisation’s standing and builds trust with patients, staff and partners.
