Partnerships
This award recognises collaborations and partnership working across the Trust that have made a significant difference to the way we work. This can be between internal teams or as part of wider collaboration with external partners.
DFN Project Search Supported Internship Programme Team
DFN Project SEARCH improves job opportunities for young people with learning disabilities or autism. At NUH, its award-winning internship programme - run with Nottingham College and local councils - now operates at two sites. NUH staff, tutors, and job coaches provide mentoring and support and many interns have secured jobs at NUH, making this one of the few successful employment pathways for young people with learning difficulties in Nottinghamshire.
NeuroTrauma Team
The NeuroTrauma team strives to work in partnership with others for the benefit of patients through a regular collaborative MDT approach. In 2024, they partnered with Headway to support traumatic brain injury patients at QMC and Headway representatives now make weekly ward visits, offering emotional, financial, and practical support to patients and families. The partnership is a source of pride for the team and continues to grow.
Nottingham and Notts Primary Secondary Care Interface Partnership
Ten years ago, care in Nottinghamshire was fragmented, with a divisive “them and us” culture between primary and secondary care. In response, this Partnership was formed to rebuild trust, foster collaboration, and improve patient outcomes. Now nationally recognised as a model of partnership, the group continues to drive improvements in communication, processes, and education.
Pharmacy Medicines Finance Team
The Pharmacy Medicines Finance Team has delivered exceptional results through collaboration across pharmacy, clinical teams, and the ICB. By driving initiatives on high-cost medicines and procurement, they’ve embedded financial stewardship into multidisciplinary care and enabled huge savings for NUH and the wider system. Their commitment to partnership, innovation, and patient-focused financial strategy is truly deserving of recognition.
Sue Bull, Sexual Health Sister
Sue has partnered with the Health Shop to reach vulnerable women facing homelessness and addiction who struggle to access traditional healthcare. Together, they bring these women to Victoria Health Centre for routine care, improving health and saving costs. The "Access Project" is a vital public health collaboration that wouldn’t exist without Sue.
