10 December, 2024
< Back to news
Vanguard Healthcare Solutions and South Warwickshire University NHS FT (SWFT) have been shortlisted for the Best Elective Care Recovery Initiative at the HSJ Partnership Awards.

Vanguard Healthcare Solutions and South Warwickshire University NHS FT (SWFT) are delighted to announce that their work together on a collaborative project to establish a surgical hub has been shortlisted for the Best Elective Care Recovery Initiative at the HSJ Partnership Awards.

Now in their eighth year, the HSJ Partnership Awards, have become the most recognised and respected mark of the strongest relationships between suppliers and the NHS. The awards recognise an outstanding dedication to improving healthcare and effective collaboration with the NHS.

The entry from Vanguard and SWFT – entitled ‘Reducing waiting lists, generating funds, improving lives: establishing a surgical hub’ - was shortlisted from hundreds of entries considered by the judging panel.

The two organisations worked together to create a highly efficient orthopaedic surgical hub, dedicated to elective care patients. With a Vanguard mobile theatre at its core, the SWFT hub has proved to be highly efficient, achieving incredible results.

It has helped to minimise waits for local patients and its creation also enabled the offering of mutual aid, where neighbouring trusts send patients to South Warwickshire University NHS FT (SWFT) for elective procedures.

"We are delighted to be shortlisted for Best Elective Care Recovery Initiative at the prestigious HSJ Partnership Awards 2025. It will be a huge boost for our dedicated and hard-working team. We pride ourselves on being positive and effective partners of our colleagues at the NHS in helping them deliver the very best and most effective patient care, and in assisting them add capacity, drive down waiting times and deliver essential procedures. This nomination is testament to the power of collaborative working and we’re incredibly proud to be recognised in this way."
Chris Blackwell-Frost - CEO, Vanguard Healthcare Solutions

The selected winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at Evolution London on 20th March 2025.

The 2025 awards judging panel was once again made up of a diverse range of highly influential and respected figures within the healthcare community, including; May Mengyu Li, Director of Efficiency, NHS England, Janos Suto, Deputy Director, Urgent and Emergency Care Analysis and Performance, DHSC, Amanda Pleavin, Managing Director, East of England Cancer Alliance, Jacqui Bunce, Programme Director – Strategic Partnerships, Planning and Estates, Lincolnshire ICS, Caroline Taylor, Chair, National Association of Primary Care, and Alan Duffell, Group Chief People Officer, The Royal Wolverhampton Trust & Walsall Healthcare Trust.
