The Scottish Health Awards are the most prestigious and recognised awards for those working across NHS Scotland and its partners to deliver high quality health and social care services to the people of Scotland.
These awards recognise and celebrate the contribution of those who work in frontline health and social care, shining a light on those who work so hard behind the scenes in support roles to provide sustainable high quality health services for the people of Scotland
Increasingly, health and social care services are being delivered in an integrated way focusing on prevention, anticipation and supported self-management and the awards aim to recognise this approach.
