Organising the HPMA Excellence in People Awards is a great privilege for us. The awards celebrate the work of HR, OD and workforce professionals in healthcare and this year we received an impressive range of inspirational entries, an achievement in itself in such a challenging year. From securing sponsorship and organising the judging process to delivering an entertaining and engaging virtual ceremony we create a lasting legacy for HPMA, providing them with a best practice showcase for their members and the wider health and social world.
