Winners of the HSJ Partnership Award
On 24th March 2022, the HSJ Partnership Awards awarded the Most Effective Contribution to Clinical Redesign to L&R and South West Yorkshire Partnership Trust for reducing the burden of wounds through workforce optimisation.
The judges felt that... “the project achieved impressive results with regards to the impact on workforce utilisation and patient empowerment while ensuring high standards of clinical outcomes. There is considerable potential for the approach to be rolled out rapidly and at scale across the country which is likely to result in significant savings of care hours needed as well as cost, while allowing patients to have more flexibility with regards to their care”.
