The HEAL (Healthcare Excellence and Leadership) Awards recognise excellence in the public healthcare sector.
Recognising and rewarding Healthcare Excellence and Leadership, the awards acknowledge and highlight the hard work and dedication invested in the NHS to ensure a consistently high standard of care. This year there were 8 awards, which were voted for by healthcare professionals, patients and the public at large:
Innovation of the Year, Best Patient Experience, Most Improved Hospital, Cleanest Hospital, Greenest Hospital, Top Performing Hospital, Pioneering in Health and Healthcare Hero.
Derek Butler, Chairman of MRSA UK said "It is heartening to see so many improvements in healthcare and a concerted effort being made to prevent infections, excellence and leadership should be rewarded and recognised, the efforts of all the staff on the frontline are appreciated and this is an opportunity for those hospitals who are performing well to share good practice and experience with others."
