The awards scheme has been initiated by the Bristol Post and Bristol Health Partners, a collaboration between the city’s NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups, Bristol City Council and the Universities of Bristol and the West of England.

The awards are a unique opportunity to celebrate the success and hard work of the health and care community in Bristol. From the GPs, pharmacists, nurses and hospital teams on the front line, to volunteers and community organisations supporting people day to day, to the researchers and scientists whose work leads to real improvements in health and care, these awards aim to include everyone who makes a difference to the health of people in Bristol.

Nominations in the 15 categories are open to anyone, from members of the public to professionals who work in health and care in Bristol.

Visit the Bristol Health and Care Awards website to enter or nominate. Entries close on 15 January at 5pm.
