HSJ Patient Safety Awards 2025: Winners revealed

With 213 finalists competing across 25 categories, the evening once again highlighted the innovation and commitment of healthcare professionals determined to improve standards of care.

The ceremony was hosted by comedian and actress Jess Robinson, with Radar Healthcare as headline partner, RLDatix as category partner, and the Motor Neurone Disease Association as charity partner. A total of 110 judges took part in the rigorous assessment process.

Among the categories this year were patient safety through technology and data, urgent and emergency care safety, and medication safety. There were also awards for maternity and neonatal services and the management of deteriorating patients.

In his address, HSJ editor Alastair McLellan praised the shortlisted teams for their perseverance, noting that many overcame collapsing budgets, wavering senior support, and workforce exhaustion. “It is hard enough to do the day job as a patient safety professional,” he said, “but you have gone further – making care safer than before and succeeding where others could not.”
