HSJ Awards 2015

The North East provider won the awards for Enhancing Care by Sharing Data and Information, Most Effective Adoption and Diffusion of Best Practice, and Workforce.

Special recognition awards were presented to patient safety campaigners Julie Bailey and James Titcombe at the ceremony in London.

Ms Bailey helped establish and has led campaign group Cure the NHS after observing poor standards of care at Mid Staffordshire FT, where her mother Bella died in November 2007. The scandal at Stafford Hospital exposed widespread failings in the trust and wider NHS system leading to far reaching recommendations in the Francis report and changes that are still being implemented today.

Mr Titcombe’s persistence to get to the truth about what happened to his baby son Joshua, who died in October 2008, led to years of failures in maternity care at the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay FT being exposed. The Morecambe Bay inquiry, by Bill Kirkup, led to widespread recommendations on how to improve maternity care and patient safety more widely.

Other winners included Birmingham Children’s Hospital FT, which was named Provider Trust of the Year, and Sheena Cumiskey of Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Foundation Trust was named chief executive of the year.

The HSJ Awards were created in 1981 to recognise, on a national platform, the projects and initiatives that deliver healthcare excellence and innovation. This year saw a record number of entries, with over 600 organisations entering.

HSJ editor Alastair McLellan said: “There is not a similar healthcare awards the world over which is so fiercely contested. Now, more than ever, we must work harder to encourage, recognise and celebrate excellence in the NHS. The service has chosen the HSJ Awards as the vehicle for this mission. We are very proud of that and of all our shortlisted and winning entrants.”
