The location is the  Victory Services Club, 63-79 Seymour Street, London W2 2HF (nearest tube Marble Arch) — for a map, scroll down to the very end of this page.

Because all those attending will have the opportunity to enjoy the buffet, this year we are charging for registration to attend the Awards Evening in person. The cost for registration is £40 per head and includes the two-course fork buffet supper.

Supper will include a choice of either meat or plant-based main meal, accompanied by a selection of salads, and followed by a petit dessert selection. The caterers will try to accommodate any specific dietary requests.

Payment can be made using your Paypal account, your credit/debit card or an offline payment by direct bank transfer, cheque, etc. Note that we use PayPal to process credit/debit card payments, but you don't need to have a PayPal account — just select 'Pay with Debit or Credit Card', 'Check Out as a Guest', 'PayPal Guest Checkout' or similar in PayPal.

The deadline for registration is midday on 7th November.

Don't forget, if you cannot attend in person you can watch a livestream of the event (no registration or payment needed), or catch it later on the HealthSense YouTube channel. There is more information about watching online here.
