Bristol Health Partners Director David Relph said:

“I’m delighted that Bristol
Health Partners can support and be so involved in these awards. There are so
many dedicated people and organisations working in health and care in Bristol,
striving to improve the lives of the people living in this city. It’s wonderful
that these awards can recognise some of that work at a city level. Working with
the Post, I think we’ve come up with a great list of categories with something
for everyone. We hope to encourage entries from across the spectrum of health
and care in this city, from the NHS to community groups, and public health to local
companies. And of course the people of Bristol can nominate too. I am looking
forward to reading the entries, and celebrating the successes and hard work of
the local health and care community.”
