The Anne McWatt Award for Innovation in Involvement is one of our annual awards and nominations are open to patients, service users, carers, relatives, our staff and others who use our services. This award is in celebration of the life of Anne and recognition of all that Anne achieved in her role as the trust’s PALS manager and is given for significant contribution to service user and carer involvement.
Or maybe the patient choice award? It does exactly what it says on the tin – for patients of NHFT to nominate trust staff for this award, recognising and celebrating excellent care through the patient’s experience.
