NHS70 Parliamentary Awards shortlist revealed

NHS teams across England recently (Friday 18 May) announced the individuals and teams they have chosen as regional champions in a prestigious competition to mark the NHS’s 70th birthday.

The champions – including NHS porters, volunteers, patients, chief executives and local council health teams – will now vie with each other for a national award to be presented at a special ceremony in the Palace of Westminster in July.

The NHS70 Parliamentary Awards, sponsored by IBM and Teva, recognise the massive contribution made by the individuals who work in and alongside the NHS.

Launched in February, it asked MPs to find and nominate those individuals or teams they thought have made the biggest improvements to health services in their constituencies, across ten categories.

From more than 750 entries submitted by almost half of all MPs in England, senior experts have chosen ten outstanding nominations, which exemplify the best of what the NHS and its partners do day in, day out.

The shortlisted nominees are listed below. Further details about each nominee will be published on the NHS70 Parliamentary Awards website over the coming days and weeks.
