Winners of the coveted Most Innovative NHS Education Provider award at the Bright Ideas in Healthcare Awards 2017 - Falls Prevention Training.
The Bright Ideas in Health Awards celebrate the achievements of frontline innovators, who rise to the challenge of sharing how, when, and where, they believe that improvements to the services provided to patients can be made. The Awards are a celebration of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. This year nearly 200 entries were received for the seven categories.
