24 March 2017
Innovative NHS staff and their collaborators from the region’s universities, charities and SMEs have been celebrated at the Medipex Innovation Awards and Showcase 2017.
Innovators from around the region gathered at Cedar Court Hotel near Wakefield for a networking event and awards ceremony where five teams were crowned winners across different innovation categories: Medical Devices and Diagnostics, GP and Community Care, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Self-Management and Service Improvement.
The awards provide a platform to showcase pioneering new ideas and technologies developed by, or with, NHS staff to improve patient care and make services more efficient.
The awards are run by Medipex Ltd., the innovation hub for NHS organisations in Yorkshire and the Humber and the East Midlands.
Seventy high quality entries were received this year from which fifteen teams were selected to attend the awards ceremony as finalists. Five of these teams were crowned winners, receiving their awards from BBC Yorkshire Broadcaster Harry Gration and our generous sponsors.
