The HSJ Patient Safety Awards, now in their 15th year, have long been a beacon of excellence, celebrating the individuals and teams dedicated to improving patient safety across health and care. With the government’s new 10-year healthcare plan arriving in 2025, the awards take on even greater significance, reflecting the critical work being done to address the complexities of delivering safe care amidst times of significant change and long-standing pressures.
Patient safety extends beyond clinical excellence - it is about fostering a culture of openness, learning, and collaboration while harnessing the power of technology to create safer, more resilient systems.
In 2025, we are presenting 25 awards under three key areas:
• Clinical and specialist excellence - recognising innovations in clinical practice that improve patient outcomes
• Enacting organisation-wide change - highlighting leadership and collaboration in embedding safety-focused cultures
• Service/system innovation - showcasing system-wide and tech-enabled approaches to delivering safer care
