Innovate Awards - winners announced
This is the first year the awards have taken place, with 190 entries being submitted. The event was attended by almost 400 NHS leaders, innovators and partners.
Matthew Taylor, chief executive at NHS Confederation, said: “The past few years have been challenging for everyone working in health and care, so it is more important than ever to recognise and celebrate the efforts and achievements of health and care teams.
“These awards have celebrated the exceptional efforts in helping transform health and care. They give the recognition, acknowledgement and appreciation individuals, teams and organisations deserve for leading the way in health and care innovation.
“Thank you to all those teams that took time to enter the awards this year – we hope to build on the success of this year’s awards next year.”
Richard Stubbs, vice chair of the AHSN Network and chief executive of Yorkshire and Humber AHSN, who led coordination of the awards, said: “Well done to all the teams and organisations named as winners or highly commended in the Innovate Awards.
“It is really important that we continuously recognise, showcase and celebrate the fantastic and innovative activity being delivered across the NHS. We are delighted with the response that we’ve had to this year’s awards both in terms of the volume of entries and also the impressively high standard of the applications. Recognising and celebrating these great case studies through the awards is only the start of the work. We also need to make sure that the learning spreads to everywhere in the NHS where it has the potential to improve patient care.”
