Last week, HSJ was named Media Brand of the Year in the Periodical Publishing Association awards.

The PPA awards are UK publishing’s “Oscars” and the Media Brand award is the “best film” equivalent. As you can imagine, we are all both proud and thrilled by this recognition.

The PPA judges said: “HSJ has proven it has influence and reach with both the press and government”.

They also complimented HSJ on the development of its “comprehensive publishing, digital and events activities”. Healthcare 100, “the first independent analysis of the health sector’s top workplaces”, was singled out as an example of HSJ’s “innovative” approach.

Of course, all these achievements would not have been possible without our readers, clients and partners. You are the foundation for all our success. Thank you.

Alastair McLellan, director and editor, on behalf of the entire HSJ team.
