The Scottish Health Awards took place at the O2 Academy in Edinburgh and the evening was filled with celebration and excitement.  All the worthy winners were delighted to accept their much deserved awards from Michael Matheson MSP, Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care. 

All of the judges found it extremely difficult to select the winners from the incredible nominations from all over the country – each story demonstrated outstanding commitment, compassion and hard work from the individuals and teams who have worked tirelessly during another challenging year for staff across the service.

Huge congratulations to all of the winners and finalists.
