The annual MJA Awards recognise and reward the very best in health and medical journalism. Each year we carefully review our awards categories to ensure they reflect both the diversity of our membership and the media in which they work.
These include awards for news and features for general, specialist and broadcast outlets, as well as prizes for newcomers, freelancers and podcasters. We also highlight specific subjects with awards for Mental Health Story of the Year, Science Explained and the David Delvin prize for sex and sexual health journalism.
