The BMJ Group Improving Health Awards - by doctors, for doctors, for patients
*Bookings are now closed*
What are the Awards about?
The Awards are run by doctors to recognise the hard work of fellow doctors who are making a difference to the lives of their patients. Improving Health is the BMJ Group's commitment to the world of medicine and the Improving Health Awards is a very tangible way of demonstrating that commitment. As such we have a number of new categories, largely aimed at showcasing the best medicine being practised in the UK and reflecting the changing healthcare environment.
