Award Category
Notts Primary Care Initiative of the Year 2025
The ongoing pressures on Primary Care demands new ways of working, new skills and competencies, as well as new roles across teams and pathways – for both clinical and non-clinical teams.
Initiatives could demonstrate:
New ways of working
Approaches to improving processes and systems which benefit staff and patients
Projects which demonstrate how you are addressing population health needs in your practice or Primary Care Network
How you have supported staff wellbeing or equity, diversity, and inclusion issues
This award is about recognising innovations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Primary Care. Judges will be looking for new approaches to developing your staff. They want to see initiatives that develop not just the existing workforce and its talents but look for new ways to bring people into Primary Care.
Submissions can be made by any individual, team, and organisation (clinical and non-clinical) working in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Primary Care. Multiple entries from the same organisation are permitted.
All posters will be on display at the conference for colleagues to view. They will also be made available online via the NATH website.
Please note: The submission with the highest scoring poster will be invited to present their poster at the conference. Please make it clear in your submission if you do not wish to present your poster during the conference.
