GL11’s NHS Health Project shortlisted for National Award
GL11’s community health project, in collaboration with the NHS, which aims to helps people with chronic pain has been shortlisted for a national award.
The project to understand the impact of chronic pain, works with people with experience of persistent pain in a bid to understand how the condition affects their lives, and has now been shortlisted for a national HSJ Partnership Award.
GL11 Community Hub and NHS Gloucestershire have been nominated in the ‘Best Not for Profit working in partnership with the NHS’ category at the HSJ Partnership Awards 2024.
Ellen Rule, Director of Strategy and Transformation and Deputy Chief Executive at NHS Gloucestershire, said:
“We’re delighted that the fantastic work of an organisation like GL11 has been recognised at a national level. As One Gloucestershire Integrated Care System, we have good, long-standing relationships between statutory and VCSE sectors, with this project a shining example of our shared ambition to make our county a better and healthier place to live and work. GL11 are experts in understanding the needs of their local community, and they’ve established strong and trusting relationships with people who are living with chronic pain, so they were well placed to lead this work.”
Cathy Stannard, Clinical Lead for Pain Transformation at NHS Gloucestershire, added:
“The best way we can support people with persistent pain is by asking what matters to them. The feedback and insight GL11 have gathered from people with lived experience allows us to work together to focus on developing the support and services they need to live well. We know persistent pain can have a massive impact on the lives of those living with the condition and their families, anything we can do to offer more support and understand the experiences of people affected by pain is really valuable.”
The HSJ Partnership Awards recognise the impressive levels of innovation and care continually being developed across the UK’s healthcare system.
