Public Heath Services have a big role in the city, each year they engage with over 100,000 people.  The Health and Wellbeing awards celebrate the hard work that goes on across Coventry throughout the public health system to improve health and wellbeing, and to reduce health inequalities. It recognises individuals that go above and beyond to make the city a better place.  This year we have seen a lot of examples of innovation in the face of Covid-19, of people rising to a new challenge and it's important that we learn from these new approaches.

The awards highlight areas like digital innovation, public participation and social value; as well as recognise the role of volunteers within the public health services - "our Health Heroes" and stand to encourage competition and best practice between contractors.
