The awards have been developed by the AHSN Network and the NHS Confederation and provide a fantastic opportunity to platform nationally the great work that is taking place in the East Midlands that could be shared and adopted more widely.
The awards are free to enter and are a great way to showcase the health innovation work of health and care organisations, partnerships, and healthcare companies.
