HSJ Efficiency Awards 2013

The HSJ Efficiency Awards were established in 2011. They recognise the projects and initiatives that help to ensure patients receive the best care most efficiently.

HSJ news editor Nick Golding, who hosted the ceremony, said: “The winning projects help safeguard the future of the NHS, ensuring its resources are used to their full potential and helping to make savings in a way which enhances, rather than damages, patient care.

“The projects honoured in this year’s HSJ Efficiency Awards can inspire NHS organisations elsewhere, helping to safeguard patient care by enabling the health service to make the best use of its limited resources at all levels of the health service across the country.”
