UK’s leading technology communications company Vodafone and the Health Service Journal (HSJ) are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration to drive the standard of healthcare excellence through the HSJ Awards.

This follows the creation of Vodafone’s new dedicated health team designed to bring together connected health solutions and digital transformation to improve access to healthcare and create better patient experiences.

HSJ, the UK’s leading source for health policy intelligence, is hosting the 43rd HSJ Awards in November. These awards shine a light on the outstanding efforts and achievements across the health and social care sector by giving the NHS a platform for sharing best practice, improving patient outcomes, and innovating drivers of better service. This year’s awards will also provide a well-deserved thanks to the sector as the NHS celebrates its 75th birthday.

Speaking about the partnership, HSJ editor Alastair McLellan said “HSJ is delighted that Vodafone have become the headline partners of the HSJ Awards – the largest and most prestigious awards programme highlighting innovation in the NHS. Over the last four decades, the HSJ Awards has grown to become the leading showcase of best practice in the NHS. The expertise and support that Vodafone will bring to the HSJ Awards will mean we can do even more to recognise, promote, and celebrate the finest examples of NHS care.”

Anne-Marie Vine-Lott, Head of Vodafone’s new Health division in the UK, added “We believe some of the biggest challenges in healthcare can be addressed through technology and we are honoured to become headline partners of the HSJ Awards. The awards recognise and celebrate innovation in the NHS and I’m looking forward to meeting the finalists and seeing the positive impact their ideas have had for patient outcomes and services provision.”

Deadline for entries for the 43rd HSJ Awards is 16 June. The shortlist will be announced on 14 August, and winners will be celebrated at the awards ceremony in London on 18 November.
