The HB Awards winners have been announced

The winners of the 2020 Health Business Awards have been announced at an online ceremony on 10 December.

This year, more so than ever before, the recognition of the hard work and dedication of our health care staff has been pushed to the front of the national agenda. And rightly so.

2020 has been a year unlike any other in living memory, putting incredible strain on the health service, its staff and its resources. But, the tide is turning and the road to recovery is slowly making itself known. That road to recovery would not be possible without the efforts of NHS organisations up and down the country, and, in that light, it is with great pleasure that we have once again been able to host the Health Business Awards and today announce our 18 winning organisations.

Sponsored by Netcall and presented by GP, TV Presenter, Medical Broadcaster, Author and Public Speaker Dr Hilary Jones, the online awards this year have acknowledged outstanding work across a number of areas, from innovation in IT to game-changing transport initiatives, from collaborative efforts to coronavirus responses. All of our shortlisted have gone above and beyond this year, but none more so than our 2020 winners.

Among the successful this year are Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, NHS Kernow CCG, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, the winners of the new Covid Response Award, and South Warwickshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the winners of the Outstanding Achievement in Healthcare Award.

A full list of winners can be found below, or alternatively on the Health Business Awards website.

A huge congratulations to all of our winners, and a special thank you to Netcall and our other Award Sponsors:
BigDug, Debt Recovery Plus, Jones AV, PFU, Philips Monitors and Sundown Services.

We look forward to witnessing the inspiring and innovative work of the NHS in 2021 and hope to be able to celebrate with you in person once again next year. Until then, one last thank you and a final congratulations.
