West London NHS Trust is delighted to announce the North West London (NWL) CAMHS Provider Collaborative Team has been shortlisted in the ‘Provider Collaborative of the year’ category at this year’s HSJ Awards.
The collaborative is a partnership between West London NHS Trust (lead provider) and the Central and North West London Foundation Trust.
Over 1350 entries were submitted to this year’s awards, with 234 projects and individuals reaching the final shortlist. The award recognises the work carried out at all levels to align priorities between provider organisations, which lead to greater efficiency and the development of person-centred services.
George Katsande, Deputy Director of Business and Strategic Developments at West London NHS Trust, said:
“This nomination is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and to the spirit of all the partners involved in working together in our North West London CAMHS Provider Collaborative. We are truly honoured and proud to be recognised for our shared commitment to meeting the needs of children and young people across all North West London boroughs.”
Graeme Caul, Chief Operating Officer at CNWL, said:
“I’m really pleased to see this nomination and send my thanks to all the staff involved with the CAMHS collaborative across the region. By working closely together we can improve, standardise and integrate patient services; that’s better for young people and their loved ones and other health and social care services in the region. Our combined efforts will continue to focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for the people we serve.”
The NWL CAMHS Provider Collaborative was formed in 2020, to transform mental healthcare for local children. The collaborative is clinically led and partnership-oriented, with a mission to achieve the best outcomes for young people and their families. The primary goal is to support children and young people in the least restrictive settings, bringing care closer to home through innovative community support while addressing the challenge of having one of the lowest bed bases for CAMHS in the country. Previously, many children were placed out of the area, leading to long admissions and poor outcomes. You can find out more about the collaborative’s work on our website.
HSJ editor Alastair McLellan said: “It always gives me great pleasure to congratulate our finalists at this stage of the judging process and this year is no exception as we acknowledge West London NHS Trust for being shortlisted in the category of Provider Collaboration of the Year.
“However, it’s always important to remember that the HSJ Awards are not just a celebration of success stories but also a platform to shape the future of the NHS.
“We can’t wait to welcome our finalists to the awards ceremony in November and to recognise and applaud such impressive achievements across the sector.”
The selected winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at Evolution London, on 21 November 2024.
