Integrated Care Journal announced as media partner for Our Health Heroes Awards 2024

Integrated Care Journal is proud to be supporting the 2024 Our Health Heroes Awards, delivered by Skills for Health, as the award programme’s sole and exclusive media partner.

Now in its eighth year, Our Health Heroes Awards celebrates the wider healthcare workforce that supports our NHS doctors and nurses on the frontline.

From porters and cleaners to receptionists, gardeners and security guards, these often unsung heroes make up roughly 40 per cent of the NHS’s million plus workforce; Our Health Heroes Awards is a national celebration of their achievements and an opportunity to give thanks for the important role that they play in keeping our health service functioning.

Having received hundreds of nominations from across the UK, judging for the Our Health Heroes Awards is now well underway for the eleven categories that feature in this year’s award.

Of those categories, five which recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals in healthcare will go to a public vote in order to decide the eventual gold, silver and bronze award winners.

Voting for the Apprentice of the Year, Clinical Support Worker of the Year, Operational Support Worker of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and the Outstanding Lifetime Contribution to Healthcare awards will open for three weeks on 20 February.

The remaining categories, which are awarded to teams and organisations for their achievements in digital innovation, collaboration and more, will be decided by an expert panel of judges and announced at a glittering awards ceremony held at the QEII Centre in London on 16 April.

On the day, senior figures from across the NHS and health sector will join together to give thanks and award the Our Health Heroes finalists their prizes, with NHS Employers’ Danny Mortimer, NHS England’s Navina Evans, NHS Business Services Authority’s Michael Brodie and Dame Elizabeth Anionwu all confirmed to attend.

Integrated Care Journal joins NHS England, NHS Employers, NHS Race & Health Observatory and more in supporting the awards for 2024.
