Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance is pleased to launch its inaugural annual Excellence in Cancer awards.
The awards have been created to celebrate the people working in cancer services in Humber and North Yorkshire for their hard work, innovation and unwavering commitment to deliver the best care for patients possible in the region.
Whether they work in clinical or non-clinical roles, the Cancer Alliance wants to recognise those people responsible for outstanding work to improve lives and treatment for people with cancer in Humber and North Yorkshire.
The award categories are:
Quality Improvement and Innovation: Do you know any individuals, teams or projects which have used innovation to deliver improvements to existing cancer services which have had a positive impact on patient care? If so, please consider nominating them for the Quality Improvement and Innovation award.
Clinical Leadership: This award recognises clinical leaders who have demonstrated system collaboration to improve care for cancer patients. If you know of anyone who meets this criteria, please consider nominating them for the Clinical Leadership award.
Championing the Patient Voice: Do you know of any individuals, teams or projects which have championed the patient voice by involving patients in their work and used their views to improve experiences for patients, particularly in those communities experiencing the greatest health inequalities? If so, please considering nominating them for the Championing the Patient Voice award.
Going the Extra Mile: This award aims to recognise the unsung heroes – those who go above and beyond in the interest of providing the best possible care for cancer patients – showing resilience, compassion, adaptability or any other favourable quality in the process. If you know of any individuals or teams who fit this bill, please consider nominating them for the Going the Extra Mile award.
