Gavin Boyle, Chief Executive of NHS South Yorkshire, said: “It’s great to see our
local partners being celebrated at this year’s HSJ awards. The number of national
entries was very high and there was tough competition. It’s a credit to all our partners
that our joined-up working is being recognised on a national stage and we’re able to
showcase how our integrated approach is helping to deliver better care for South
Yorkshire people.”
Cathy Winfield MBE, Chief Nursing Officer of NHS South Yorkshire, said: “Having
three of our local providers shortlisted across a number of categories is an honour
and highlights the dedication of our colleagues and partners across South Yorkshire
who are committed to transforming our services to provide the best care for our local
population.”
South Yorkshire has been included in the following categories:
Mental Health Innovation of the Year Category
NHS South Yorkshire ICB, Doncaster Team for ‘Mental Health Crisis Alternatives’
The Mental Health Crisis Alternatives programme stood out as a ‘success story’ for
creating a Crisis Alternatives Alliance. The programme launched in 2019 and has
brought together many organisations across the public and Voluntary Community
and Social Enterprise sectors to deliver pathways of care for those experiencing
mental health crisis but not requiring clinical support. Read more here.
Using Data to Connect Services Category
The Rotherham Foundation Trust for ‘Taking a holistic approach to overhauling real-
time patient flow’
Rotherham’s successful project saw clinical site teams, discharge teams, porters,
operations teams and social services work together to develop a new approach to
optimising patient flow throughout the organisation and beyond. The ‘Rotherham-
wide’ holistic approach includes key stakeholders in a patient’s journey - before
arrival to hospital, throughout a hospital stay, supported discharge and social care.
They have developed an integrated health and social care command centre that has
successfully enhanced patient experiences. Read more here.
Primary and Community Care Provider of the Year Category
Primary Care Sheffield
Primary Care Sheffield (PCS) was developed by a general practice in Sheffield to
provide support in delivering world class primary care which helps people live
healthier and happier lives. This will be the third year that the work of the PCS has
been recognised at the HSJ awards, an outstanding achievement for their dedicated
team. Read more here.
Now in its 42nd year, the national awards continue to uphold the values of sharing
best practice, improving patient outcomes, and innovating drivers of better service.
This year’s diverse judging panel shortlisted based on ambition; outcome; value;
involvement and working together, and how the project might be ‘picked up’ and
replicated elsewhere for the benefit of both patients and professional colleagues.
The selected winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at the
Battersea Evolution Centre, London on 17 November 2022.
