The Patient Experience Network National Awards celebrate all the good and great things happening across the UK which have improved patient experience on any level.
If you work in healthcare, and are dedicated to doing a great job and creating positive patient experiences, then we would like to hear from you.
Much of the time people are very happy to shout when things go wrong, and often the good stuff gets lost in lack of translation, so it is vital to let people know what is working in your organisation or department. Because if it is working for you then it can work for others, and show other teams the way forward. Knowing and measuring what works is also vital for planning future strategy efficiently.
At the PEN National Awards each entry receives vital feedback in the form of a benchmark report. These benchmarks have proven invaluable when assessing what works, can be improved upon, and what can be transferred across different platforms.
This year we have three exciting new categories in addition to the 8 key areas from previous years:
Innovative use of Technology/Social Media
Employee Engagement/Improving Staff Experience
Patient Experience Professional of the Year
There are so many different platforms to plug your team’s efforts and achievements. Why not enter PENNA 2013 and shine a beacon on your accomplishments? Don’t be shy, we’re waiting to hear from you!
The PEN National Awards 2013 are open for entries. Deadline for submissions is 11th October 2013, and the Awards Day and Best Practice Conference will be held on 5th February, 2014.
Contact alma@awardsinternational.eu or 01223 911988 to arrange a chat, or visit the main website for more details:

Remember, other teams may be doing as well as you, but if they don’t enter, they will no gain the recognition!
