چکیده

The annual search for excellence in healthcare has begun once more with the opening of nominations for the ninth BMJ Awards, the competition in which the best initiatives from across the UK are invited to compete for the prestigious recognition. This year, as last, there are 15 entry categories covering the whole of medicine from bench to bedside, not forgetting that the way services are planned and delivered is the key to providing effective care. Past winners represent the best that doctors and the NHS can achieve, with tough times putting an ever greater value on innovation and cost-effectiveness. Some awards—such as those for primary care, cardiology, cancer, education and innovation—are included every year, while permutation of the many other possible categories aims to ensure that over time all specialties get their chance. This year sees the appearance of three categories that were not included in the 2016 awards—imaging, surgery, and mental health. The process begins with the completion of a nomination form, downloadable from The BMJ Awards website (http:// thebmjawards.bmj.com/Home) and culminates in an award ceremony to be held at the Park PlazaWestminster Bridge Hotel in London on 4 May 2017. Entries are judged by distinguished panels that include expert patients, and all those shortlisted will be the subject of a short article in The BMJ in the weeks running up to awards night.
