This category is aimed at providing the best possible environment of care, from first arrival/ impressions and throughout the care pathway. This can include the physical environment and/or the emotional environment. Judges will be looking for evidence of patient involvement and inclusion.
Previous submissions have included examples of art, music, dances and providing access to books.
This category is open to all heathcare organisations (including GP practices and Care Homes) but may also be of interest to:
Artists and other dramatic arts
Architects/ Designers
Builders
If you have some examples of how you have improved your patients’ experience through the environment of their care then why not put forward a submission now? What better way to acknowledge the great work of your team, share your best practice and gain recognition for the superb initiatives you have implemented?
