Congratulations to our Meds Management team for winning the prestigious HSJ award for Improving Medicines and Pharmacy through Digital. The team won the award for demonstrating a “system-wide approach to medicines optimisation, underpinned by strong strategic intent and effective use of data to prioritise clinical activity.” The judges added that the benefits of their approach “were grounded in operational reality and aligned with NHS delivery constraints, marking this out as a high-impact, scalable and strategically mature programme.”

This year’s awards, which were held in Birmingham, attracted 468 entries, with 201 shortlisted finalists competing across 25 categories. The winners were chosen following a two-stage judging process, with stage one running over five weeks and stage two, virtual judging, accounting for approximately 177 hours.
