Annual Prizes

The Bupa Foundation prizes are given annually to recognise excellence in clinical research and healthcare. They provide a unique way to recognise and reward researchers’ original work as well as support further studies if appropriate or pilot work in a new direction.

The prizes are focused on each of the following categories:

• Healthy Lives Prize – for work enabling people to make sustained behaviour changes towards a healthy lifestyle
• Patients as Partners Prize – for development of shared-decision making tools that help patients to make informed decisions about their own health care
• Technology for Healthy Outcomes Prize – for work using new technologies to organise and interpret health outcomes data to improve health and care
• Vitality for Life Prize – for work with older age groups promoting and encouraging healthy ageing

Each prize is worth £15,000, which will help to advance the recipient’s study in their field of medical research.
