HPMA is all about people achieving great things for themselves & for patients. You can all feel really proud of all the work you have done.

Now in their 26th year, the HPMA’s annual awards have been more hotly contested than ever and the judges had to agonise over all of the decisions – several categories were very closely run.

The awards are a centrepiece of HPMA’s busy events programme, which has greatly expanded this year. The roadshows are in full swing, their regional branches are delivering more learning events than ever before and are starting to run joint events with other like-minded organisations that want to promote excellence in HR and people management in their sectors. Great opportunities for all members to learn, share and generate new ideas and practices.
