Competition for the 10th BMJ Awards—which took place in London on Thursday 10 May 2018—was fierce, with 250 entries across categories including cancer care, diagnostics, emergency care, and mental health.
The BMJ Awards aims to promote excellence in healthcare, showcase knowledge and experience that will inspire others, and give exposure to teams who demonstrate courage and passion for overcoming challenges in our common mission to improve outcomes for patients and communities across the UK.
This award is given to an individual who has made, and continues to make, an outstanding contribution to improving health and healthcare in the UK
