The Valued recognition awards for Primary Care teams
The NCL Training Hub was proud to partner with the KeepingWell NCL staff wellbeing Hub on a new recognition award programme celebrating exceptional work by Primary Care teams in North Central London.
The Valued Awards ran in Spring 2022 to recognise teams and organisations that made a real difference to their patients, staff, or Primary Care in general. In particular, the awards recognised exceptional initiatives that have taken root in the last two years (since the beginning of 2020).
The Valued Awards were part of the ‘Be Well, Live Well, Work Well’ campaign to support the health and wellbeing of Primary Care workers. You can download the free toolkit, which includes information for individuals, as well as guidance for managers and support for organisations, who are providing NHS Primary Care services. There are posters and cards for staff areas, as well as more details on finding appropriate support, when it is needed.
About the Valued Awards
Employee wellbeing is inextricably linked to organisational cultures and professional fulfilment. These awards recognised organisations that have put in place initiatives that support people to thrive in the workplace.
All health and social care workers across North Central London were invited to nominate Primary Care teams and organisations who look after their teams, and put people at the heart of service delivery.
The awards were open to all staff working in GP surgeries, community pharmacies and NHS funded dental and optometry sites in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.
There were five different award categories. For more details, please see our full criteria.
Leadership
A strong leader has a unique ability to guide and inspire others, which in turn contributes to the effective and efficient running of an organisation. We are looking for exceptional leaders who have helped shape a culture that gets outstanding results and attracts, motivates and retains talented staff.
Education
In this category, we are looking for organisations that prioritise training and development, and supporting people in their career. We want to hear about structured training and development initiatives, which form an integral part of the organisational culture and positively impact the team.
Inclusivity
An inclusive culture is one where everyone feels like they truly belong. We are looking to celebrate an organisation that has an approach to equality, diversity and inclusion that positively impacts on individuals, operations and culture.
Service delivery
This category is looking for a team or organisation that embraces new ways of working and delivering care, across disciplines or boroughs, supported by technology. We are looking to celebrate an organisation that has undertaken a new initiative that has positively impacted individuals, organisation productivity and patient outcomes.
Health and wellbeing
This category is about putting employees first by valuing and embedding health and wellbeing support for all employees. We’re looking to recognise initiatives that actively promote and support employee wellbeing.
