The Building Better Healthcare (BBH) Awards are thrilled to announce Darwin Group as their official headline sponsor for the second consecutive year in 2025. Now, in its 27th year, the BBH Awards continue to recognise and reward the most innovative contributions to the healthcare industry.
Darwin Group, a trusted partner in the healthcare construction sector, continues to collaborate with the NHS to enhance capacity and create exceptional environments. With a vision of building an adaptable and resilient estate, Darwin Group advocates for flexible approaches where permanent buildings are complemented by On-Demand solutions – facilities that can evolve with care requirements and are aligned to the duration of need.
Both the BBH Awards and Darwin Group share a steadfast commitment to fostering innovations in healthcare, with a primary focus on high-quality patient care.

This event is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the innovative solutions and successes achieved in overcoming such challenges.”
Smith added: “The BBH Awards' recognition of the best innovations within the NHS and independent healthcare providers aligns perfectly with our vision of reimagining the estate masterplan.”
