  • Evidence of a significant impact/benefit to the area or patients,
  • Evidence in the application or supporting document of the achievements described,
  • Suitability for the category entered.
Please Note for Dressing/Device Nominations:

  • This must be available in at least three territories,
  • This award will be judged by an independent panel of board members and KOL’s.
