Nottingham and Nottinghamshire were proudly represented at the HSJ Digital Awards 2025, which celebrate excellence in digital innovation across the NHS.
Andrew Fearn, Chief Digital Officer for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB, was Highly Commended as ‘Digital Leader of the Year’ for his instrumental leadership in advancing digital health initiatives for the East Midlands Radiology Network.
Andrew said: “It was really nice to be in a room of digital enthusiasts showing the NHS show it should be done… a great night!”
Nottingham University Hospitals Trust were also Highly Commended for their ‘One Version of the Truth’ hospital discharge dataset agreed by all partners. This supports collaboration across health and social care partners in managing the timely, safe and appropriate discharge of people from hospital. This has supported better practice and decision-making and is helping more people to go directly home, in a shorter time.
Rosa Waddingham, Chief Nurse at the ICB said: “Well done to Andrew and the One Version of the Truth team for being highly commended at these prestigious national awards. These achievements reflect our dedication to digital excellence in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and its positive impact on patient care.”
