We’re Finalists! Celebrating Entrepreneurial Excellence at Communitas Clinics

23 July 2025 

We’re delighted to announce that Communitas Clinics – together with our partners Numie and Your Family Practice – has been shortlisted for Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2025 Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards.

This prestigious award celebrates organisations that are leading with purpose, delivering real-world impact, and finding new ways to solve longstanding challenges. To be recognised at this level, in a record-breaking year for entries, is something we’re incredibly proud of.

At Communitas, we’ve always believed that community healthcare can be outstanding – offering patients faster access, better outcomes, and a seamless experience that feels truly part of the NHS. This finalist recognition shines a light on the work we’re doing in clinical delivery, with partners and across communities to make that vision a reality.

Our collaborative model combines clinical expertise, digital innovation, and operational efficiency to deliver services that meet local need and go beyond expectations. From ENT and audiology to dermatology, we’re building specialist services that are trusted by commissioners, valued by patients, and powered by an exceptional team.

This is a brilliant moment for the whole Communitas team,” said Christian Lyons, CEO. We’re always looking for better ways to do things – whether that’s collaborating with commissioners, international healthcare providers or NHS England on service design or building a completely new service from scratch. Being named a finalist is a reflection of the energy, creativity and commitment across the organisation. Most importantly, it recognises the role that well-designed community healthcare plays in supporting the NHS, and getting patients the care they need, when they need it.”

The next stage is a presentation to the judging panel in September, followed by the Awards Night in London this November.

We’ll keep sharing updates as our journey continues – but for now, we want to thank our teams, commissioners, partners and patients for making this possible. This recognition belongs to all of you.
