Medipex NHS Innovation Awards & Showcase 2021
Medipex (www.medipex.co.uk) will be hosting a virtual NHS Innovation Awards and Showcase on 22nd September 2021 to celebrate NHS Innovations from the Yorkshire and Humber and East Midlands regions.
The categories for this year’s awards are:
Management of Long-Term Conditions;
Preventing Hospital Admissions;
Delivering Benefits through Diagnosis and Screening;
Improved Treatments and Pathways.
The event will be based around an engaging programme, where we will hear from a keynote speaker about their successful innovation journey as well as showcasing the finalists in each category and announcing the winners. Attendees will be invited to engage with a series of break-out rooms designed to provide useful information on topics relevant to innovation development to offer our supporters the opportunity of networking with individuals interested in their topic/area of work.
We are delighted to announce the finalists in each category of the Medipex NHS Innovation Awards 2021 being held on 22nd September. The judges from Medipex, YHAHSN and Medovate had a really tough time shortlisting the finalists and deciding on the winners as the standard was exceptionally high this year.
