The awards, which are supported by more than 100 charities and patient groups, aim to recognise high-quality, accessible, and well-designed information resources that seek to empower and inform patients in relation to their health.
Long and short-lists of those nominated for this year's awards have been drawn up, with entries covering a wide and diverse range of physical and mental health and wellbeing issues.
These include a self-management and recovery toolkit for those affected by alcohol-related brain damage, which was developed in conjunction with those affected by the condition and is the very first resource of its kind.
Other entries include a special resource developed by mental health charity Mind which specifically seeks to support those with mental health issues who experience racism by helping patients understand how racial discrimination can affect their health and how and where they can seek support.
