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?
- Gain national recognition by showcasing your achievements - Gain a stamp of approval for your projects from a brand that makes your chief executive take notice. Establish your organisation as a leader in the sector, and develop the employer branding needed to inspire, retain and recruit top talent.
- Benchmark your success - Measure your projects against the country’s leading projects and set a standard for excellence. Show your colleagues that everyone has a role to play in driving better quality and safer care.
- Proactively manage and strengthen your organisation’s reputation - Entering the awards lets you actively shape how your organisation is viewed in the health and care community. Winning or being shortlisted reinforces your organisation’s standing and builds trust with patients, staff and partners.
- Improve staff culture and boost morale - These awards go beyond one night of celebration - they’re a way to recognise the hard work of your team, shifting the conversation from challenges to achievements and recognising the real impact on patient care
In 2025, we are presenting 26 awards under three key areas:
- Excellence in Patient Care and Innovation - recognising initiatives that improve clinical outcomes, patient safety, and service transformation through technology and new models of care.
- Leadership and Workforce Development - celebrating outstanding leadership, workforce wellbeing, and initiatives that support NHS staff in delivering high-quality care.
