WE and North West Boroughs Healthcare Shortlisted for the 2019 HSJ Awards
Wellbeing
Enterprises CIC (WE) and North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NWBH)
are delighted to announce that their St Helens Community Wellbeing Service has
been shortlisted for a Health Service Journal (HSJ) Award in the Community or
Primary Care Service Redesign category.
Working in
partnership, WE and NWBH have integrated non-medical wellbeing approaches into
clinical pathways across the Trust to improve outcomes for patients. Acting as
a form of early intervention, the service supports community nursing and mental
health teams by undertaking an assessment of wider social needs and connecting
patients to community-led support to increase their wellbeing and reduce the
need for medical intervention.
Chief Executive
Officer at WE, Mark Swift, said: “We’re thrilled to be shortlisted for a HSJ
Award and to see the fantastic partnership between WE and NWBH being recognised
for the positive impact it’s making to people’s lives in St Helens. The hard
work and dedication of staff has made this service the success it is and I’m
incredibly proud to celebrate this wonderful achievement together.”
John Heritage, Chief Operating Officer at NWBH,
continued:“It’s
great to be working in partnership with Wellbeing Enterprises and we’re
delighted that the service has been shortlisted for the HSJ awards – it’s
fantastic recognition of the teams efforts and valuable contribution. Working
with a partner like Wellbeing Enterprises enables us to increase the range of
support we can our offer to people in our local communities.”
