Congratulations to all of this year’s finalists and winners. The 20th Scottish Health Awards took place in person for the first time since 2019. The ceremony, which took place at the O2 Academy in Edinburgh, was filled with celebration and the winners were delighted to collect their awards from Humza Yousaf, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care.
The judges found it extremely difficult to select the winners from such strong nominations and incredible stories – each demonstrating outstanding achievements from the individuals and teams who have worked so hard during such challenging times.
For your chance to watch all of this year’s winners receive their well-deserved awards, the full ceremony can now be viewed on the Scottish Health Awards website. Please take this opportunity to celebrate with all our worthy winners.
