The inaugural HSJ Efficiency Awards aim to promote organisations who demonstrate strategies and initiatives that have tangibly improved efficiency and cost savings, whilst maintaining the highest levels of patient care and staff morale.

HSJ Efficiency Awards is calling for entries for the Efficiency in Financial Services category. This category is for all finance departments within NHS organisations, and recognises truly leading initiatives and strategy in cost and efficiency savings.

We are looking for evidence of:

  • Engagement of clinicians and other managers;
  • Creative use of finance and other data to understand how NHS services are delivered and could be improved upon;
  • Innovative approaches and use of new technology;
  • A patient centred approach where the needs of the patient, and quality and safety of the service are paramount;
  • Audit and benchmarking;
  • Promotion of financial awareness throughout the service and with clinicians in particular;
  • Evidence of cost savings through more efficient provision of care, increased productivity, more streamlined pathways, etc.

The final deadline for the efficiency awards is 27 May.
