PRWeek UK Healthcare & Pharma Comms Awards 2022 | Haymarket Media Group | 26 January 2023 | TBA

The PRWeek UK Healthcare & Pharma Comms Awards are an opportunity to showcase and celebrate the best campaigns, projects, agencies, in-house teams and individuals across healthcare and pharmaceutical communications. It recognises the growing importance of this comms specialism.

This specialism continues to grow in stature and importance in recent times. The rise of ESG (environmental, social and governance) activities and 'purpose' marketing has also put greater emphasis on organisations to hone their messages.

Winning a PRWeek Healthcare & Pharma Comms Award makes you stand out in the busy PR industry.
