Dame Professor Sue Hill, chief scientific officer,
NHS England has a clear view of how the Awards
can help raise the profile of healthcare scientists:
These Awards have come a long way over the
past 20 years and I am committed to work with
Chamberlain Dunn and other professional leaders to
further develop these awards to enable us to shine
a brighter light on the critical role of healthcare
scientists and AHPs in the health and care system.
We invited Steve Jamieson, CEO, Royal College of
Speech and Language Therapists who has also been
helping us to revamp the Awards, to tell us how he
sees it:
Recognising AHPs with awards is more than just a
personal achievement — it’s a celebration of their
unwavering commitment to care, research, and
innovation. These awards uplift the individuals and
their organisations, fostering a culture of excellence
that inspires teams and strengthens patient
outcomes. Each award is a testament to their
dedication, serving as a beacon of hope for patients
and a reminder that their work has a lasting impact
on lives and communities.
A special welcome to the Chartered Society of
Physiotherapy as sponsors of an important new
award: The #RightToRehab award for innovation,
linked with their Right To Rehab campaign which
believes that rehabilitation should be accessible to
everyone who needs it for as long as they need it.
John Cowman, CSP chief executive, says:
Innovation in rehab services is driving huge
improvements in person-centred care across the
country so we are delighted to be supporting this
award.
It’s critical that these examples of best practice
are scaled up and replicated everywhere so that
everyone who needs it can access high-quality
rehab. It’s only through that scaling up that we
can help more people lead active, independent
lives while easing pressures on the NHS and wider
economy.
