Dr William Bird is shortlisted for Outstanding Leader of the Year with Jan Spatticchia, Sue Anstiss MBE, Malcolm McPhail, Stuart Martin, Dave Candler, Oliver Stacey and Justin Musgrove.
In 2016, Intelligent Health were nominated for four UK Active awards and were ultimately winners of three categories including Healthy Partnerships, Physical Activity Campaign of the Year and Spirit of Innovation.
Dr William Bird said: “In the last two years Intelligent Health has continued to develop and expand our Beat the Street walking and cycling initiative as well as launching new social prescription, consultancy and health forecasting services. It is fantastic to be recognised by UK Active for our work to build active communities across the world.
