Digital Health and Care Awards 2023

Welcome to Holyrood Connect’s 6th annual Digital Health and Care Awards, Scotland’s premier celebration of digital innovation across the health and social care sector.

The awards will be hosted by health journalist Pennie Taylor, and will include opening remarks from Caroline Lamb, Chief Executive of NHS Scotland and Director-General of Health and Social Care at the Scottish Government.
