"The NHS is committed
to improving quality for our patients. We need to focus on the
pathways of our patients and what value we can add to that
journey."
Sir David Nicholson KCB CBE
The Health and Social Care Awards exist to:
- Highlight and celebrate innovation and excellence across health
and social care
- Recognise and encourage working together across organisations
and professions, with service users and local populations
The Health and Social Care Awards have an established nine year
history and provide an unparalleled opportunity to highlight and
celebrate innovation and excellence in the provision of frontline
health and social care.
Throughout the NHS, social services, the voluntary, charity and
independent sectors, there are people who are passionate about
finding new ways of doing things to provide the best possible care
to their local population... and then continue to improve it.
People who deliver frontline care, people who lead teams and
organisations, people who commission services, people who develop
new technology...
These are people who recognise and utilise the expertise of
patients, service users and carers; people who don't let
organisational and professional boundaries get in the way of
providing the care and services needed by their local
population.
