Sponsors

BMJ Group would like to extend a huge thank you to all sponsors and associations supporting the BMJ Group Awards.

Current 2010 BMJ Group Awards sponsors include:

Getting Research into Practice category sponsor is NHS Evidence.

NHS Evidence is for everyone working in healthcare, keeping them right up-to-date with best practice. It is a fast, free service providing instant access to the latest and best clinical and non-clinical information and can help inform decisions about treatments and resources. NHS Evidence has an easy to use search engine which can be used to find only credible, relevant and quality health information. Just search using a word or a phrase and NHS Evidence will do the rest. Visit www.evidence.nhs.uk to access the best in high quality care and how to deliver it.

Clinical Leadership award sponsor, McKinsey & Company, is a management consulting firm working globally across industries, including extensive work in leadership development. Nowhere is there greater potential to drive results through leadership than in healthcare - and much of the benefit will come through clinical leaders.

Our work has consistently shown that, when clinicians assume service leadership roles, great things happen. We are delighted the BMJ is acknowledging the central place this holds for the NHS through this award for clinical leadership.

Best Quality Improvement award co-sponsor The Health Foundation is an independent, charitable foundation working as a catalyst to improve the quality of healthcare in the UK and beyond.

We aim to inspire, motivate and support people in healthcare to achieve the highest possible quality of care. Clinicians have a vital role in driving improvement. As the people working directly with patients, they are the ones who can really improve care at a local level. To help us understand more about how to do this, we have tested several approaches to supporting clinicians to drive forward quality improvement and ‘close the gap’ between current and best practice in clinical services.

Best Quality Improvement award co-sponsor is the The Department of Health:

In the current economic environment it is vital that the NHS looks for efficiency savings so we can continue to deliver high quality care for every patient, as set out in High Quality Care for All published in June 2008.

Health Communicator of the Year award sponsor BOOTS™ is the UK’s leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer.
