RECOGNISING SAFETY, CULTURE AND EXPERIENCE IN PATIENT CARE

LLR ICS WITH THESE HANDS ACADEMY RECEIVES HIGH COMMENDATION AT THE 2024 HSJ PATIENT SAFETY AWARDS!

These Hands Academy is delighted to announce that the LLR Connected Care Programme has been highly commended in the Virtual or remote care initiative of the year at this year’s HSJ Patient Safety Awards -  an esteemed awards programme, designed to encourage and drive improvements in culture and quality across the NHS.

The HSJ Patient Safety Awards was hosted by top comedian and TV presenter, Zoe Lyons, who expertly compered the proceedings and kept the audience of more than 1,000 healthcare workers entertained as the winners to all 25 categories were revealed during the evening.

All those in attendance were pleased to applaud and acknowledge the incredible efforts and achievement of collaborative teams and individuals across the UK, committed to delivering improved patient care and a culture of safety.

An incredible 415 entries were received for the 2024 HSJ Patient Safety Awards, with 206 organisations, projects and individuals making it to the final shortlist, having gone through two rounds of rigorous judging, overseen by an impressive panel of highly influential and respected figures within the healthcare community.

The Connected Care Programme has delivered cost savings, improved efficiency, and freed up more time for direct care. It has boosted data confidence across the system, fostered trusted relationships, empowered the workforce, and most importantly, helped people live fuller, healthier lives. Now being scaled across LLR it provides life-changing opportunities to all care homes to connect digitally reducing harm from extended hospital admissions and improving outcomes for both residents and staff.

Tara Marshall, Director at These Hands Academy comments, “We were so honoured when we heard we’d been highly commended in our category, and we know it will mean a huge amount to our colleagues as well as the wider community within our workplace. Professional awards such as this are always a real boost to staff morale and an incentive to continue our efforts to improve the services we deliver and the overall patient experience.

“Everyone across the healthcare sector knows that the HSJ awards programme is an important and high-profile platform on which to share and showcase our work, which is why we’re so thrilled to have been recognised in the 2024 Patient Safety Awards. We hope our success will encourage other colleagues to enter next year.”

The Awards Ceremony is the highlight of the HSJ’s annual 2-day Patient Safety Congress (which took place on Monday 16  and17 September at Manchester Central), welcoming a diverse range of delegates, all working at the forefront of safety, quality and clinical excellence.

Editor of the Health Service Journal, Alastair McLellan, comments; “These really are two of the busiest days in our calendar, with the HSJ Patient Safety Awards ceremony playing a pivotal part in our 2024 Congress programme. It’s always wonderful to take some time to celebrate those who are working at the forefront of patient safety, delivering core services and always seeking new ways of overcoming some of the many challenges we’ll have discussed during the day.

“This year was no exception - and it therefore gives me great pleasure to congratulate all those who were highly commended, including LLR and These Hands Academy in the category of Virtual and Remote monitoring Initiative of the year.

“The aim of this years’ conference was to provide a space for ‘honest conversations’ about how to create safety in a system under pressure – and I really believe that our winners this year truly reflected and represented this ethos”

He adds; “Once again, it’s been so heartening to see such a huge level of entries, submitted by hard-working and dedicated teams who, in these ongoing times of budget uncertainty and workforce shortages, are striving to deliver improved patient care and to ensure patient safety, education and wellbeing is at the heart of decision making at all levels.”
