In May 2016, the InSPIRE team won the 'Innovation into Practice' Team of the Year category at an awards ceremony held at the Park Plaza Hotel in Westminster.
Glasgow’s finalists faced competition for the award from Imperial College London/Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust; the University of Bristol; and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Dr Tara Quasim, ICU Consultant, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, said:
“Intensive Care patients can have persistent physical and psychological problems as a direct result of the intensive care stay which can impact all aspects of their life.
Winning this award is welcome recognition of the importance of our programme in working to minimise the impact a prolonged stay in ICU can have on patients.
Since the initial pilot started last February, the team has been developing and testing their innovation, putting it into practice, and gathering evidence about its impact and effectiveness.
I hope this high profile award will further raise awareness of the importance of navigating patients in their recovery, by giving both patients and family members access to appropriate services and support.”
