Preventing illness and acting early when health risks arise is at the heart of the NHS’s long-term vision for improving outcomes and reducing pressure on services. Digital innovation is helping to make this shift possible, from predictive analytics and AI-enabled diagnostics to remote monitoring and population health tools that identify and support people sooner.
This category will recognise NHS led programmes that have embedded digital approaches into prevention and early intervention at scale. Judges will be looking for projects that are reducing avoidable illness, enabling faster and more targeted responses, and improving outcomes for patients and communities. The strongest entries will demonstrate clear and validated benefits, with evidence from both data and real world experience, and show how improvements are sustained and scalable across the system.
Eligibility
- All NHS organisations (including providers, partnerships, and systems), General Practice and primary care organisations.
- Evidence must relate to a project, ongoing or completed within the 2 years up until the award entry deadline.
