The Great British Care Awards are a set of regional events which take place every year across the UK and are a celebration of excellence across the health and social care sector. They are aimed at paying tribute to those people who have demonstrated outstanding excellence in their field of work.

The Yorkshire Care Awards will take place at the National Railway Museum in York on 22nd November 2019 with the winners going on to compete against other regional winners at the national finals in early 2020.
