Here’s everything you need to know about The Sun’s Who Cares Wins awards.

What is it about?

The Sun’s Who Cares Wins is an awards ceremony that acknowledges healthcare professionals around the UK. This year’s ceremony is the fifth time the awards have taken place, and the second time they’ve been broadcast by Channel 4.

Who Cares Wins is a play on the phrase ‘Who Dares Wins’.

The Who Cares Wins awards are being hosted by Davina McCall, in her second time hosting the ceremony. McCall is a presenter and broadcaster who regularly hosts events of this nature; you might recognise her from hosting Big Brother and The Million Pound Drop, or from judging The Masked Singer and The Masked Dancer.

Davina McCall said: “I’m enormously proud to host these awards, which recognise some of the most amazing people on the planet. It’s a privilege to meet these everyday heroes and celebrate their truly inspirational stories.”

11 awards are being handed out at the Who Cares Win ceremony. The categories are as follows:

  • Best Doctor
  • Best Midwife
  • Best Team
  • Best Nurse
  • Best Health Charity
  • Unsung Hero
  • Young Hero
  • The Caroline Flack Mental Health Hero
  • 999 Hero
  • Christina Newbury Memorial Award
  • The National Lottery Local Health Hero Award

Caroline Flack was a presenter and broadcaster, best known as the host of Love Island. She died by suicide in February 2020. The day after her death, The Sun attracted attention for a piece mocking her recent legal troubles, and in the years since Flack’s death it’s become a commonly accepted viewpoint that tabloid media coverage of her life was a significant contributor to her death, with Flack’s mother speaking out repeatedly about how The Sun wrote about Flack.

Christina Newbury was the Health Editor at the Sun, who passed away suddenly at the age of 31. It was Newbury who founded the awards in 2017.

Where did the awards take place?

The Who Cares Wins awards were held at The Roundhouse in Camden in London. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Leader of the Opposition Keir Starmer were in attendance.

King Charles III presented the Best Doctor award to Dr Freda Newlands in September at Balmoral Castle. (He was at this point still the Prince of Wales, with Newlands visiting Balmoral the day before the Queen died.)

What time are the Who Cares Wins awards on television?

The Sun’s Who Cares Wins awards will air on Channel 4 at 6:30pm on Sunday 27 November. The one-off ceremony will last for 90 minutes, ending at 8pm. It’ll be followed by an episode of Escape to the Chateau.
