Thank you to everyone who nominated for the CPHVA Awards. The short-list of finalists will be announced soon.

The CPHVA is immensely proud of the professionalism, passion and creativity that community practitioners and health visitors undertake daily, across a diverse landscape of practice environments.

The CPHVA Awards will take place in the stunning setting of Savoy Place, London on Wednesday 13 March 2013, at a lunchtime ceremony that is the annual opportunity to recognise the achievements of the profession at your own national awards.

The occasion will begin with a reception at 12pm, to which those shortlisted for each award will be invited to attend and enjoy meeting and mixing informally with their peers, our key partners and invited guests. After lunch, the presentation of the awards will form the highlight of a wonderful day.

Now, the moment has come for you to nominate or be nominated for the awards - your awards - to celebrate you, your colleagues, your teams, and the positive work they accomplish.

Your entries will be assessed by a CPHVA judging panel throughout January 2013. The judging panel will release a short-list of finalists, no later than 31 January, with no more than three finalists in each category.

All those shortlisted will be invited to attend the awards ceremony, when the winners will be announced. Profiles on the finalists and winners will be published in Community Practitioner journal.
