Organised by Chamberlain Dunn, this is the 12th year the awards have been held.
The AHA website says, "Our aim is to recognise and reward projects and professionals that lead innovative healthcare practice and make a real difference to patients’ lives.
"The awards are open to allied health professionals, healthcare scientists and those who work alongside them in support roles. The awards are unique in that they are UK-wide and cover all these professional and specialists groups whose achievements so often go unnoticed."
The winners will be announced on Friday, 20 April.
