Innovations and Best Practice in Community Hospitals - Awards 2006
 

In January 2000 The Department of Health awarded the Community Hospitals Association a grant to look at Innovations in Community Hospitals We used the grant to build up our United Kingdom database of good practice in Community Hospitals and launched an "Innovations Award."  The scheme has proved so successful it is now an annual event.

The winners will be announced at the Annual Conference. In September/October there will be an Innovations and Best Practice Day Conference, when award winners will be presented with a certificate and an engraved item of cut glass.
