Entries for this year’s Kate Granger Compassionate Care Awards are now open for entries.
The awards are named after Dr Kate Granger, who sadly passed away in 2016, and who worked tirelessly to raise awareness around compassion in the NHS through her #hellomynameis social media campaign.
This year an extra category has been added to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS which will see seven people, across seven decades of the NHS, rewarded for working tirelessly and innovatively to provide compassionate care.
The awards will be presented at the 2018 Health and Care Innovation Expo being staged at Manchester Central on the 5 and 6 of September.
The closing date for entries is Friday 15 June 2018 and judges will be looking for an individual, team or organisation that has made a unique difference to patient care, with specific focus on:
- an ambitious and innovative way of delivering patient care
- high-quality management and leadership
- an approach that can be easily measured and have a real impact
- how the approach has made a difference to patient care
- how it makes a difference in the long term
- how easily it can be replicated in other organisations.
