OSCARS
OSCARS 2018/19
Our Outstanding Service Contribution and Recognition Scheme (OSCARS) has now launched. The OSCARS is our awards scheme for our staff and volunteers. This is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding work of teams and individuals in providing high quality mental health, intellectual disability, substance misuse and comunity health services.
Award categories
This year we have nine award categories as follows:
Unsung Hero Award - Non Clinical
Team of the Year Award - Clinical
Team of the Year Award - Non Clincial
Outstanding Care and Compassion Award
Please note. Nomination forms will need to be completed and submitted using Internet Explorer. If opened in Google Chrome, the completed form will need to be saved first before being sent via email. Either format will be accepted.
What’s changed for 2018/19?
Following the launch of the Trust’s Quality Improvement agenda in September 2017, we have introduced the Quality Improvement Award to this year’s OSCARS. This category will celebrate individuals and teams who have designed, tested and implemented a quality improvement within their area of work, whether it be small or large scale, clinical or non clinical.
The Quality Improvement Award replaces the Innovator of the Year Award. We hope if you have an innovator in your team you would be able to nominate them in one of the other categories.
