We are delighted to announce that our wards and Quality Improvement team have been shortlisted for the Quality Improvement Initiative of the Year award at this year’s HSJ Patient Safety Awards, which recognises safety, culture, and positive experience in patient care, celebrating its worthy finalists on a national scale.
The HSJ Patient Safety Awards acknowledges the hard-working teams and individuals across the UK who are continually striving to deliver improved patient care.
Our teams have been recognised for a project which covered all of our hospital inpatient wards across Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Goole which improved the timely assessment and reassessment of patients’ pain. They worked with frontline teams to remove barriers, improve processes, and ultimately improve the patient experience.
Ryan Sutton, Group Associate Director of Quality Improvement, said: “This is such exciting news – and, as busy healthcare professionals, we never underestimate the impact and positive ‘boost’ that being shortlisted for an HSJ Patient Safety Award will bring to our wider team and colleagues.
“It’s well known within our sector that the HSJ awards programme is a high profile and hugely respected platform to showcase the work and achievements of the many healthcare professionals who enter, and we’re delighted to have been recognised on this prestigious shortlist for a 2023 Patient Safety Award. All wards involved in this work should be extremely proud.!”
The Awards are a highlight of the HSJ’s annual two-day Patient Safety Congress in September, where delegates working at the forefront of safety, quality and clinical excellence come together to join in on open and honest discussions about the current reality of safety.
