NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership is named a finalist for the NHS Wales Awards!

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership is celebrating after one of its projects made the finals of this year’s NHS Wales Awards, announced today (Monday 15 August 2022).

NWSSP is up for the following awards:

Improving patient safety

All Wales COVID-19 CIVAS Service.

Colin Powell, Director of All-Wales Pharmacy Technical Services said;

“Under the leadership of Gareth Tyrrell this service has gone from strength to strength in providing a range of ready to administer medicines to support patient care and our clinical colleagues throughout NHS Wales. The unit already provides around 20,000 ready to use syringes per year but plans to broaden its portfolio to provide an additional range of ready to administer syringes and infusion bags over the next year.”

The Awards recognise how innovative ideas for change can make a significant difference to the patients who need care, the organisations who provide care, and the health and care system as a whole. It is an opportunity to showcase hardworking and inspiring teams working together, striving to improve healthcare practices and patient care across Wales. The winners will be announced at a ceremony on 10 October 2022.

With so many inspiring entries being submitted this year, the judging panel of NHS experts found it incredibly tough to shortlist the 24 finalists in the 8 award categories. The next stage is for the judging panels to virtually visit each finalist to find out more and see first-hand the benefits they’ve brought to patients.

The NHS Wales Awards are organised by Improvement Cymru which is the national improvement service for NHS Wales delivered by Public Health Wales.
