In 2024 News Story of the Year (specialist audience), supported by Real Chemistry was awarded to Lawrence Dunhill for his work in the Health Service Journal: Revealed: How trust execs resisted concerns over Letby

The judges said: A powerful story that gets under the skin of the Lucy Letby murder trial. Revealing the internal workings at the NHS trust, it highlights the strained relationship between clinicians and managers and damage that caused.
