EMS Healthcare Wins Two Awards for Advancing Healthcare Accessibility and Reducing Health Inequalities

Individuals and organisations across the country were honoured at the Breaking Down Barriers Awards 2025, which took place in the Houses of Parliament. The awards recognised leading advocates for health equity and social mobility champions who are working to deliver opportunity for everyone, everywhere.

EMS Healthcare was recognised for its unwavering commitment to increasing healthcare accessibility, winning two prestigious accolades at the awards:

Spotlight Award for EMS Healthcare

Recognising our dedication to reducing health inequalities and expanding access to clinical research and healthcare for underserved communities.

Special Recognition Award for Laura Nash

Celebrating Laura’s exceptional leadership as Head of Outreach Development and her pivotal role in bringing outreach programmes into underserved communities.

EMS Healthcare’s innovative approach has helped to bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility, delivering vital services directly to the heart of communities. From mobile treatment suites that bring cancer care closer to home to outreach programmes that provide essential health services to marginalised groups, our mission is to ensure that no one is left behind when it comes to accessing high-quality care.

Laura Nash, Head of Outreach Development at EMS Healthcare, said: 

“I’m incredibly proud to be part of the EMS Healthcare team and extremely grateful for this recognition.The award reflects the fantastic work all of the team delivers in increasing access to healthcare and research. By bringing services directly into communities, we are breaking down barriers and ensuring more people get the care they need, regardless of their circumstances.”

The Purpose Coalition's Breaking Down Barriers Awards celebrate organisations and individuals committed to tackling inequalities and expanding opportunities. EMS Healthcare’s recognition underscores the vital role of innovative mobile healthcare solutions in shaping a more inclusive and accessible future for all.

Each award category aligns with one of The Purpose Coalition's 15 Purpose Goals, which set out the core barriers to opportunity, encompassing a broad range of societal and economic issues. The Goals provide a structured framework for organisations to assess and strengthen their positive impact in society. Last month, EMS Healthcare launched its first Social Impact Report, highlighting how we are actively addressing these key barriers to ensure good health is within everyone's reach.
