NHS Trusts, other healthcare providers, and organisations and individuals within the architectural and construction supply chain, have a great opportunity to have their scheme, project, or service-user engagement, recognised and celebrated at this year’s Design in Mental Health Awards, with the ceremony taking place at the end of the first day of the DiMH 2025 conference and exhibition at Manchester Central – 3 June.
Those keen to enter the 2025 Awards have until 7 March to get their entry in. The judging committee, comprising a panel of experts and community peers with extensive experience within the NHS and private mental health sector, is looking for entries that ‘embody exemplary design, community, and the very latest innovations in mental health’.
The Design in Mental Health Network said: “The DiMH Awards bring recognition in the UK and internationally amongst those who design, build, and deliver, patient-centred mental health environments. Entering offers your team the chance to celebrate and share the benefits that your achievements bring to the sector.”
Shortlisted and winning entries will be promoted to the Design in Mental Health community across email, web, social, and print channels. The very best will also benefit from publicity in The Network, and will be invited to share the story of their success as part of a special panel discussion at the event.
