Congratulations to all winners and finalists in the NHS in the North Excellence in Supply Awards 2019
A host of health and care organisations and small businesses from across the North West Coast have collected honours in this year’s NHS in the North Excellence in Supply Awards.
The awards, hosted by the NHS Northern Customer Board and Health Innovation North West Coast, celebrate the work of businesses, third sector organisations and the NHS in collaborating to deliver great patient care.
The awards are sponsored by the Health Innovation North West Coast, Health Innovation Manchester and Yorkshire and Humber Academic Health Science Network.
Cheshire company Healthcare Communications won the prestigious Supplier of the Year award, as well as carrying off the Support Services award.
NHS award-winners included Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, North West Shared Infrastructure Services and Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria, which jointly won the NHS Procurement Innovation Award.
Meanwhile, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (now part of Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) carried off the NHS Supplier Engagement award.
Dr Liz Mear, Chief Executive of Health Innovation North West Coast, said:
“All the award winners deserve huge congratulations. At their heart, these awards showcase some fantastic collaborations between NHS organisations and their partners that ensure improved patient care.”
Mick Guymer, Chair of the NHS Northern Customer Board, added:
