We’ve only gone and won!

It’s fantastic to work with the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals Trust as Collaborative Newcastle aiming to improve outcomes for pre-op patients with diabetes.  This fantastic example of partnership working was recognised when we won in the Innovation category at the Newcastle Hospitals Trust Celebrative Excellence awards on Friday!

This award recognised the work undertaken undertake to support patients with uncontrolled diabetes well before their operations by engaging them in a Healthworks social prescribing intervention to improve diabetic control and improve outcomes for them.

It was great to meet other finalists and winners who are also playing such an important role in improving the health and wellbeing of local people!
