Double success for King Edward VII’s unit
THE 16TH LAINGBUISSON AWARDS
King Edward VII’s Hospital scooped two categories at the Awards: Nursing Practice and Management Excellence.
The former recognises providers who have delivered improvements and innovation to nursing and patient management.
This achievement was demonstrated by a partnership with the British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy to streamline patient journeys for endometriosis treatment.
The award recognised the hospital’s commitment to wider social projects too.
King Edward VII’s Hospital’s Veterans’ Pain Management Programme has catered to 450 members of the armed forces, managing health conditions and improving quality of life for serving and ex-service personnel and their families.
The Management Excellence category, recognising exceptional clinical or patient outcomes, financial results or employee engagement, was made in response to the hospital’s colorectal robotics service and lymphatic microsurgical approach to breast cancer.
Chief executive Lindsey Condron said: ‘We are extremely proud that our achievements were recognised by LaingBuisson, which included our support of the NHS in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the team’s agility and innovation in establishing and delivering new clinical services.
‘By using the latest technologies and working collaboratively and innovatively, we’ve been able to demonstrate our clinical excellence and deliver the best outcomes for our patients.’
