While some things have changed, others have not, and we are pleased to confirm that Boehringer Ingelheim will once again be our principal sponsor. The NHS Confederation is sponsoring our new headline award for Outstanding Contribution to Health or Medical Journalism.
A number of our previous sponsors, including Novo Nordisk, Roche, Lilly and Astellas have already confirmed their ongoing support.
Having more awards means there are more opportunities for sponsorship so if you would like to be associated with the UK’s premier awards for health and medical journalism, email us at  for details.
