There are also two new awards for this year’s entrants to compete for.
The first, sponsored by The Guardian, is aimed at those working in mental health; and the other, sponsored by Health Education England and the National Institute for Health Research seeks out our research champions.
Winners will be invited to the awards ceremony, which takes place on Friday 31 March 2017 in central London.
