Community Health and Wellbeing Hub wins PMA Award!

Congratulations to the PCN5 (Bestwood & Sherwood) ARRS workforce for their success at 2024 PMA Awards! Their Community Health and Wellbeing Hub took home the top prize in the ‘Innovation in General Practice 2024’ category at last week’s award ceremony.

Their health and wellbeing hub takes an innovative approach to connecting people who often feel shut-out of traditional health services. It creates a space for building communities, while providing attendees health advice and signposting to additional services in the area.

This initiative takes a holistic approach to improving health outcomes for people experiencing isolation and do not have a strong social circle around them. This could because they are recent migrants, are experiencing grief, or have mental/physical health conditions.

The PMA’s are prestigious awards in healthcare, and nomination is national recognition of the high-quality work in reducing healthcare barriers being done by the team in Bestwood & Sherwood.

This nomination follows on from their success at the i2i Awards in September, where the hub picked up the ‘Addressing Health Inequalities Award’. You can read more about that on the NCGPA website here: www.ncgpa.org.uk/news#BlogPost18275

Congratulations to the whole team on their incredible achievement!
