Annual Recognition Awards evening is back this year

Healthwatch Kent and Healthwatch Medway are pleased to announce the return of its annual Recognition Awards evening, now in its third year.

This annual awards evening aims to recognise and celebrate the people, innovations and collaborations that listen to the public and deliver successful projects and programmes across Kent and Medway.

The challenges facing health and social care in Kent and Medway continue to demand resourceful thinking and planning. Never has collaboration between services and across sectors been so vital. Health and social care in Kent and Medway support a diverse population, but we know that inequalities exist within this. 

This year, we are looking at the Recognition Awards through the lens of health inequalities.

 If you are aware of a programme, a pilot or a service change that has made an impact, we want to hear how! Nominate here

We also want to celebrate those within the health and social care system who are demonstrating leadership in collaborative working, changing the culture and paving the way for new ways of working. To make a nomination fill this form here

If you have any questions, please email awards@healthwatchkent.co.uk

Healthwatch Kent and Healthwatch Medway will evaluate all nominees based on:

  • Involvement of public, patients, lived experience
  • Impact and achievements 
  • Inequalities
  • Inspiration

We wish all the nominees the best of luck!
