Health Business Awards 2008

Arsenal's Emirates Stadium is the venue for the second Health Business Awards on the 13th December.

2008 marks the 60th Anniversary of the NHS. Dramatic stages of reform since 1997 are moving towards an NHS characterised by free choice across a wide range of providers. Levels of investment in staff, facilities and technology remain high.

Following the success of the inaugural event last year, the 2008 Health Business Awards will continue to showcase NHS success stories. The Awards will recognise and celebrate the significant contributions made each year by organisations that work inside and alongside the NHS. This year, the Awards will be presented by GMTVs resident health troubleshooter Dr Hillary Jones.

The award categories incorporate facilities, technology, human resources, hospital management and transport as well as the Outstanding Achievement in Healthcare award, which will be Awarded to an NHS organisation that has achieved sustained success in its role and brought benefits to the wider NHS through the dedication and expertise of it staff. New for 2008 is the Hospital Catering Award, which will go to an NHS Trust that has delivered outstanding improvements in food service and nutritional standards.
