How to apply

N/A

In an era where increasing public sector productivity is a top government priority, the NHS’s partnerships with solution providers - whether offering goods or services - are more critical than ever. The HSJ Partnership Awards are the most recognised and respected mark of the strongest and most impactful relationships between suppliers and the NHS. This award highlights the shared mission of suppliers and the NHS to improve healthcare for all and acknowledges the significant contributions made toward this goal.

The HSJ Partnership Award recognises, celebrates, and creates a platform for the best products and services currently being used by the NHS. It highlights innovative solutions that align with the NHS’s ongoing efforts to enhance quality, improve efficiency, and achieve essential savings, all while making a tangible difference in patient care.
