The wait for the Swindon and Wiltshire Health & Care Awards 2021 is nearly over. The winners in each of the 12 categories will be announced by none other than TV’s Dr Hilary Jones at a virtual ceremony livestreamed on the Swindon Advertiser, Gazette & Herald and Wiltshire Times Facebook pages on May 27 from 7pm.
