NOW OPEN FOR ENTRIES

The health service has entered an 'age of austerity' and will have to deliver £20bn of efficiency savings by 2015. Trusts are being charged with delivering more for less and the focus is firmly on maintaining quality and saving costs through efficiency savings.

The HSJ Efficiency Awards recognise the increased efficiency now compulsory for the health service and champion the innovative and cost effective measures that reduce costs without affecting the standard of patient care.

Enter today to:

• Demonstrate how initiatives have tangibly improved efficiency and clearly contributed to cost savings whilst maintaining high levels of patient care
• Benchmark your best practice and inspire other trusts to implement efficiency-driving strategies
• Recognise and reward the dedicated and hard working staff that make these achievements possible

YOU COULD BE AN AWARD WINNER

The awards are open to both providers and commissioners of NHS care. Entries are welcome from departments, teams or individuals performing all clinical and non-clinical roles.
Prove you are at the forefront of improving efficiency without compromising quality.
Good luck.

KEY DATES: The entry deadline is 13 April and the winners will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony on 25 September at the Lancaster London Hotel, Hyde Park.
