The Innovate Awards are now open for entries

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted exemplary efforts by staff in health and social care teams but also shone a light on the need for innovation and transformation in the way we work. The new Innovate Awards celebrate excellence in innovation in health and care, showcasing those teams, organisations and health and care systems leading the way in positive change.

There are ten categories open for entry in the awards, with an 11th grand prix prize, recognising the overall innovation champion of the year, which will be selected from among the winners.

The awards are open to publicly-funded or charitable organisations and collaborations. Applications from other partners in the private sector are welcomed as part of a submission led by a public or voluntary sector body.

Apply by 23 June.
