National award nominations for UHD

Dorset's integrated care system (ICS), Our Dorset, has been shortlisted in five categories for this year's HSJ (Health Service Journal) Awards, including two nominations for Integrated Care System of the Year and Performance Recovery. 

The HSJ Awards is an annual event that celebrates the very best of health care across the UK. Of the 1067 entries for this year’s awards, 219 projects and individuals made it to the final shortlist, including the five Our Dorset projects.

Our Outpatient Assessment Clinic at Beales is up for two awards, Performance Recovery and ICS of the Year for the partnership with Arts University Bournemouth to design the clinic in a way that helped visually guide patients through their journey.

The Dorset Medical Examiner programme, which scrutinises deaths across the county and gives the bereaved a voice to raise any concerns, is one of those in the running for ICS of the Year.
