Bradford NHS team nominated for second award

Monday, 18 March 2019 16:00

Bradford’s Children and Young Persons’ Ambulatory Care Experience (ACE) has been nominated for a second major award in a matter of months.

Last November, the pioneering scheme topped the Improvement in Emergency and Urgent Care category at the prestigious Health Service Journal (HSJ) awards in London. And now, the ACE team have also been shortlisted in the Innovation and Improvement category at the 2019 BMJ Awards.

Launched in December 2017, the ACE project aims to bring care to young patients in the comfort of their own homes and prevent unnecessary referrals to hospitals.

Consultant Paediatrician and ACE service lead, Dr Mathew Mathai, said: “We are delighted to have been nominated for a BMJ Award!

“Being nominated generates a real buoyancy and optimism, and I’m really thrilled for the whole Paediatric team. I would like to acknowledge the amazing work of children’s community nurses and the support of our inpatient team in making this service work.

“Our clinical educators have also been pivotal to our success alongside my consultant colleagues, who have helped drive this innovation forward. And Denise Stewart, Project Manager, has been so important in keeping us all on track.”
