The Bladder & Bowel UK Clinical Excellence Award is a celebration of outstanding bladder and/or bowel health care.

The award rewards the exceptional contribution of an individual, team or project working in the field of bladder and/or bowel health within the NHS or independent sector, by celebrating the demonstrable positive impact they have made to their patients or clients or to the public.
