Welcome

Winners announced!

With over 1,400 guests present, the best in healthcare were rewarded last night at the 30th annual HSJ Awards. Once again the awards rewarded the best innovation, ideas and dedication found throughout the healthcare sector over the last year.

We had an exceptional level of entries this year; with more than 1,000 entries. Our judges worked very hard to narrow each category down to an exceptional shortlist, and then to select 18 very deserving winners; with congratulations also going to all those who were highly commended and shortlisted, a huge accomplishment.

Alastair McLellan, the editor of Health Service Journal said:
"This year marks the 30th anniversary of the HSJ Awards. As well as highlighting the quality of this year's winners, we would also like to honour the hundreds that have won HSJ Awards over the last three decades. Their combined contribution is responsible for the many of the huge advances the service has delivered. All working in and with the NHS will hope that 2012 will prove to be a more positive year than this, while recognising the challenges of reform and productivity are set to become even sharper. We hope and believe the 2011 HSJ Awards winners can be an inspiration to light the way ahead."

Winners on the night Included: University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust for Acute and Primary Care Innovation, and NHS Dudley Health for Commissioning Organisation of the Year. The RT Hon Andrew Lansley was there to present Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with London Borough of Greenwich, with The Secretary of State Award.
