Darwin Group has announced its third consecutive year as headline sponsor of the Building Better Healthcare (BBH) Awards, reinforcing its commitment to supporting innovation, partnership, and improved patient environments across the NHS and independent sector.
This year’s awards come as the NHS continues to deliver against the 10-Year Health Plan, with Trusts under significant pressure to increase clinical capacity, improve patient flow, and maintain continuity of care while major capital projects progress nationwide.
The BBH Awards recognise the organisations responding to these challenges through smarter design, modern construction approaches, and future‑ready healthcare environments.
Hayley Smith, Strategy and Transformation Director at Darwin Group, said:
“As the NHS and supporting independent healthcare providers work to boost capacity and manage pressure both now and through longer‑term rebuild programmes, the need for flexible, high‑quality clinical space has never been greater.
At Darwin Group, we are evolving our approach based on the priorities we hear from NHS leaders. Our On‑Demand® delivery model allows Trusts and providers to open permanent‑grade capacity quickly and safely, supporting patient pathways while major estates programmes take shape. The BBH Awards reflect this spirit of innovation and collaboration, and we are proud to continue our partnership.”
The 2026 awards promise to be the most ambitious yet, showcasing the very best in healthcare design, delivery, and performance. Darwin Group looks forward to celebrating the finalists and applauding the winners who continue to raise the standard for healthcare environments across the UK.
