The Guardian Healthcare Innovation Awards celebrate and share best practice across different areas of the healthcare sector. Photograph: Pilar Olivares/REUTERSA school, a charity, and a social enterprise are all in the running for the first Guardian Healthcare Innovation Awards.
The shortlist for the awards includes entries from outside the healthcare sector, as well as NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups.
The awards, sponsored by GE, Unipart and 3M, are an opportunity to celebrate and share best practice across different areas of the healthcare sector – both inside and out of the NHS.
They aim to showcase ideas or services which significantly improve the quality or management of care for patients and share them with the rest of the sector.
The judges, including Dean Royles, chief executive of NHS Employers, Chris Hopson, chief executive of the Foundation Trust Network, and Dame Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, looked at a number of entries in different categories including service delivery, technology, hospital admissions, leadership, partnership and workforce.
Here is the full list of organisations shortlisted this year. The winners will be announced at a ceremony on Thursday 24 October 2013 in London.
