Local staff working in GP practices have been recognised for outstanding work, care, innovation and services.
With awards across six different categories, a variety of nominations were received acknowledging people working in GP Practices that help make a difference to the health of people in south east Essex.
NHS Southend and Castle Point & Rochford CCGs were delighted to be the first CCGs nationally to be selected to carry out a 12 week pilot, which utilises a mobile application to empower staff to share their innovative ideas for quality improvements directly with senior management.

Over 100 different community groups and representatives came together at a stakeholder meeting in Southend to help to develop new models of care across south east Essex to improve the health and wellbeing of residents.
The new models of care are a key component of a new Locality Strategy, jointly developed by local NHS commissioners (CCGs), key providers, local authorities, and the third sector. The strategy has a clear focus on prevention, joining up services, keeping people well and in their own homes, supporting the strengths of communities and individuals.
