The finalists in the UHD Awards 2023 can now be revealed, and represent a huge range of people and services.

From almost 850 nominations, our multidisciplinary judging panel has arrived at just 33 finalists across the 11 awards categories.

The shortlist spans porters and doctors, nurses to technicians, to volunteers and managers and many more. Individuals and teams were put forward by hospital colleagues as well as almost 200 patients and relatives.
