The finalists for the Innovate Awards 2023 have been announced following a rigorous round of judging over the last few weeks.
The Innovate Awards, now in its second year, is delivered in partnership between the AHSN Network and NHS Confederation to celebrate best practise examples of collaboration in the adoption and spread of innovation across health and care.
A grand total of 191 entries from health and care teams across the country, covering 11 award categories, has been shortlisted to 56 finalists.
Commenting on the award entries, Chief Executive from NHS Confederation, Matthew Taylor said: “The work and collaboration to spread innovation across health and care is truly remarkable, as evidenced in this year’s Innovate Awards submissions. Our judges have commented on just how impressive, exciting and inspiring the work contained within the entries has been, and we are delighted to be able to highlight and celebrate these efforts.”
Richard Stubbs, Vice Chair at the AHSN Network said: “Recognising and rewarding our innovators is crucial to creating a culture of innovation. That’s why we created the Innovate Awards last year and I’m delighted that we’ve attracted such a high calibre of entries for our second year. I’m hugely looking forward to the awards ceremony when we’ll announce the winners. The work doesn’t stop there though, we then need to make sure that we spread all this best practice throughout the NHS so that it benefits as many patients as possible.”
The 34 judges included prominent healthcare figures from NHS England, regional NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards, patient involvement organisations, health equality organisations and innovation specialists. Read more about the judges here.
The award ceremony will take place on the evening of Thursday 21 September 2023 at the Grand Connaught Rooms, in London, WC2B. Tickets are available to book here.
