Entries coming in thick and fast for 2012 Building Better Healthcare Awards

The Building Better Healthcare Awards 2012 is already attracting entries from across the sector, so make sure you don't miss out by putting forward your product, building, technology or process to be scrutinised by our expert panel of judges.

This year there is a total of 16 awards up for grabs, including a number of new gongs that reflect the recent changes in the healthcare marketplace. For the first time there is also a Futures category, which will recognise the best design concepts for the healthcare buildings of the future.

With just seven weeks to go until we close for entries, we are again expecting a record number of applications in the six classes. For the second year running we will also be giving out much-sought-after Clinician's Choice and Patient's Choice awards, chosen from across all entries regardless of whether they make the main shortlist.

So if you have a product, service or building you want to shout about and which you think deserves recognition within the healthcare sector, then we urge you to get your entry in early. This will enable our judges to request further information at the earliest possible opportunity, giving you the best chance of success when we announce the winners on 7 November.

Entries will be joining the dozens already submitted, which include Hampton House, a purpose-built centre for learning disabilities in Cheshunt; and NewStyle furniture, a healthcare interiors range designed to enhance patient wellbeing and promote recovery.
