Organised by Skills for Health, the National Skills Academy for Health and headline sponsor Health Education England, the awards celebrate the unsung healthcare heroes from across the UK in seven categories. John Rogers, Chief Executive at Skills for Health, said:

“Our Health Heroes gets bigger and better each time and this year was no exception.

“We introduced two new categories to allow us to celebrate some of the organisations who are leading the way in the Staff Retention and Wellbeing Employer category and those individuals who have dedicated their lives to healthcare through the Lifetime Achievement #NHS70 award.

“It has been an honour to hear more about those individuals, teams and employers who are going beyond their usual remit to deliver high-quality care to their patients and support to one another and their teams.

“Today’s award ceremony has reminded us all what makes our healthcare system so special. It’s the people and teams who go the extra mile, recognise opportunities for improvement and share knowledge and resources.
