Showcasing the very best in UK healthcare
The BMJ Awards are the UK’s leading medical awards that promote excellence in healthcare, showcase inspiring practices that will inspire others, and give exposure to frontline staff who show determination in overcoming challenges.
From national media attention, potential funding, speaking opportunities to permanent placements and peer recognition, the benefits for finalists and winners are far-reaching. Find out what it means for teams who win.

Protecting public health
The UK Health Alliance on Climate Change brings together the UK’s leading health institutions, doctors, nurses and other health professionals to advocate for responses to climate change that protect and promote public health.
Organisational members include:
Laurie Laybourn-Langton has just joined the Health Alliance as Director. He will spend some of his working week based at BMA House in The BMJ Editorial.
On his appointment, he said, “Climate change is a major threat to public health in the UK and abroad. Tackling climate change will not only limit this threat, but can deliver large public health benefits now and into the future.
One example is increasing cycling, walking and other active transport, which can both reduce carbon emissions and air pollution and reduce levels of obesity, saving the NHS a large amount of money and helping people to live more active, healthier lives.”
