The judges’ comments: “A true commitment to partnership working and innovation, Alliance Medical has once again shown strong growth coupled with a commitment to excellence.” “Scale, reach, and focus now make Alliance Medical an integral part of the fabric of UK healthcare. It continues to grow, delivering consistent results year-in, year-out, and it continues to innovate with radio-pharmacy and lung screening. There is no other choice in this category that comes close.” “Alliance Medical’s commitment to partnership and staff development gives it the edge. Alliance Medical demonstrates a very systematic and consistent management style with great emphasis on staff development linked to lifelong education and related research.” “Alliance Medical continues to demonstrate real excellence and innovation to further consolidate its pre-eminent position in the diagnostics sector. During 2019 it secured further NHS partnerships at the same time as making alliances across the private sector and into higher education. Its innovative approach to securing and investing in staff suggests it will be the operator to beat for some time.”

WINNER Outstanding contribution award (sponsored by Civitas Investment Management) This Award is dedicated to all front-line health and social care workers
Each year, the HealthInvestor Awards has given an award for the Outstanding Contribution by an individual. This award has been presented to some of the sector’s most illustrious figures, and is designed to recognise excellence of contribution by a leader in our marketplace. The pandemic, however, has not been a time for individuals. More than ever, the coronavirus pandemic has reminded all of us of the importance of teams in health and social care – suppressing the virus while also delivering care to those in desperate need of it required a collective effort and sacrifice the like of which many of us have never seen before. So in 2020, rather than a recognise an individual, our outstanding contribution award will be dedicated to front-line workers across the health and social care sector.
