We are delighted to invite entries to the 2025 Advancing Healthcare Awards as we celebrate 20
years of this important programme, promoting the work of AHPs and healthcare scientists. These
professional groups are leaders of innovation and are well placed to respond to new opportunities
and challenges. The Advancing Healthcare Awards is an annual event that celebrates best practice,
innovation, impact and leadership.
Have a look at the categories and see where
your project might fit. You can be working in
any setting in the UK, the NHS, charity, private
sector or self-employed. We are particularly keen
to encourage people from a wide range of diverse
backgrounds to enter the awards.

The Awards aim to:
• Identify and share examples of good, impactful
practice throughout the four countries of the
UK, which are evidence-based, sustainable and
transferable
• Help AHPs and healthcare scientists communicate
their key role in health and social care to their
various audiences
• Develop the awards programme in reach and
stature, reflecting the crucial contribution of AHPs
and healthcare scientists in prevention, diagnosis,
treatment and rehabilitation
• To meet the expectations of the sponsoring and
supporting organisations.
We set out the Awards here to give you some idea of
the range and scope. For full details and entry details
go to the website.
At least one team member in your entry should be
an AHP or healthcare scientist (except for categories
which specifically include support workers). You
can enter as many projects as you like across the
categories, but each particular project can only be
entered into one category.
Entries must be submitted online via the portal –
