The national health service Equality Awards ran for two years with the focus on greater equality for all service users. Since the launch of the NHS Plan, the NHS Equality Awards have been combined with other national award schemes—the Nye Bevan Awards and Social Care Awards—to form the Health and Social Care Awards. This single set of awards recognises and rewards the excellence of staff working in vital services across both health and social care departments.
