Sponsored by CHASE, the inaugural EHP Awards will take place in 2026 and will celebrate partnerships between healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and healthtech companies, and other stakeholders.
The Awards will feature 12 categories, including SME Partnership Project of the Year, Multi-sector Partnership Project of the Year, Partnership Working to Address National Healthcare Priorities, Partnerships for Scalability and Adoption, Partnership in Research, as well as Partnership Team of the Year.
An experienced judging panel will consider innovation, patient benefit and triple-win impact. All work submitted must have taken place within the UK and be in line with any applicable code of practice.

The NHS ConfedExpo, an annual conference delivered by the NHS Confederation and NHS England, is designed to facilitate discussions and explore solutions to the most pressing challenges facing the NHS and wider healthcare system.
This year’s event was sponsored by Accenture, AstraZeneca and Novartis and offered over 150 sessions on topics such as workforce sustainability, health inequity, primary care reform and digital transformation.
System collaboration was a key theme this year, with sessions considering how different sectors within healthcare can work together to improve patient outcomes.
Lord Victor Adebowale, chair of the NHS Confederation, said in his opening address to delegates: “Learning is work – and we must never stop learning. Why? Because our teams, patients and communities all benefit when we learn as leaders. Because if you are not learning as leaders, no one else is.”
