Greater Manchester Cancer Awards 2026
Welcome to the Greater Manchester Cancer Awards 2026. For the third time, we want to celebrate those who have the dedication to go above and beyond every day to improve outcomes and experiences for patients here in Greater Manchester.
This year there are eight award categories available to enter, which will be judged by a panel made up of clinicians, managers and user involvement representatives. Shortlisted entries will be invited to an awards ceremony on 12 May 2026.
As in previous years, a “Patients’ Choice” award will also be presented. This will be selected from the shortlisted entries, and will be awarded via a vote from our Greater Manchester Cancer Voices community, made up of patient and carer representatives.
