Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations for our new NZPSHA Awards programme. We received a stellar range of entries across all eight award categories, reflecting the exceptional people, teams and organisations within New Zealand's private surgical hospital sector. We also extend our thanks to our eight judges for their time, expertise and careful consideration.
For the three individual award categories, the judges identified one clear standout nominee in each category and have chosen to select only the winners rather than announce finalists. The winners will be revealed at the Gala Awards Dinner, held in conjunction with the 2026 NZPSHA Conference in Auckland.
For the five business award categories, competition was extremely close, and we are pleased to acknowledge the finalists listed below. All finalists can showcase their initiatives at the Awards Showcase at the Conference on Wednesday 23 September, before celebrating the winners the following night at the Awards Dinner.
