NHS HEREFORD and Worcestershire has been shortlisted for the 2024 HSJ Awards setting the standard for healthcare excellence.
The Home for Lunch campaign has been shortlisted for the communications initiative of the year award.
Over 1350 entries were received for the awards and 234 projects have been shortlisted.
The Home for Lunch campaign was developed by health and care partners across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, launched in October 2023, aiming to see more patients leaving hospital earlier in the day, so they can be home for lunch.
Simon Trickett, chief executive of NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted for at the HSJ Awards 2024.
“It will be a huge boost for our dedicated and hardworking teams.
“Massive congratulations especially to every who worked on the initiative from the campaign creatives to frontline ward staff ensuring people were able to be discharged home to friends and families earlier in the day and our communities for supporting us.
“Whatever the result ‘on the night’, we already feel like winners for getting this far and are so proud to have the opportunity to share our success with colleagues from across the entire sector, as well as showcasing everything we’ve learnt through implementing our campaign.”
The selected winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at Evolution London on November 21.
