The Hygeia Awards 2019 are now open for nominations!

RSPH has for a number of years formally recognised learners who achieved the highest score that year for their qualification.

In 2018, these awards were expanded to include centres, tutors and learners taking qualifications that are not assessed by an examination. They have also been renamed collectively as the Hygeia Awards after the Greek goddess of health and wellbeing.

Winning a Hygeia Award is recognition of outstanding achievement. Past winners have used their award to increase their employment prospects, while recognition from peers in the workplace has also proved invaluable.

We are now open for nominations in the following categories:

• Centre of Excellence Award
• Excellence in Learner Support Award
• Health Improvement Award
• Young Health Champions Award

The winners will be announced at the Hygeia Awards 2019 at 28 Portland Place in London on 11 September 2019.
