With the festive season fast approaching and having received several requests for more time, we have extended the deadline for entries to the 2023 Medilink Midlands Business Awards to ensure businesses don’t miss out on the chance to showcase their work and achievements.

Businesses now have until 5pm on 4 January 2023 to enter the Awards, which have seven free-to-enter categories including Start-up, Delivering Innovation in Health and Care, Innovation, Outstanding Achievement, Advances in Digital Healthcare, Export Achievement, and Partnership between Academia and Business.

For the ‘One to Watch’ award, Medilink Midlands’ independent judging panel will nominate businesses that show great growth potential.

Sponsored by the University of Birmingham and the Precision Health Technologies Accelerator (PHTA), the 2023 Awards will once again celebrate the achievements, innovations, and breakthroughs of life sciences and medtech companies across the East and West Midlands.

Winners will be announced a prestigious awards ceremony and dinner at the Great Hall, University of Birmingham on 16 March 2023. All winning organisations will be automatically entered in to the Medilink UK National Awards, part of the MedTech Innovation Conference & Expo (MTI), taking place on 7 and 8 June 2023.

Simon Himsworth, Chief Executive of Medilink Midlands, said: “Our annual Business Awards recognise and showcase the excellence that Midlands companies are achieving at the leading edge of the healthcare sector. The event is also a fantastic opportunity for the Midlands life science community to come together, network and celebrate their successes. All life sciences businesses in the East and West Midlands are invited to enter, with our regional winners set to go forward to the national Medilink UK Business Awards, which will celebrate the country’s top life sciences companies.”

Chris Barker, CEO at Spirit Healthcare, winners of the 2022 award for Advances in Digital Healthcare, added: “The trophy is one of the first things you see when you enter Spirit House. It not only serves as a reminder to the whole team of all the incredible work we have done so far, but also spurs us on to do even more to support our patients and partners.”
