In today's healthcare landscape, there's a growing recognition of the need to balance immediate crisis response with proactive, early intervention, particularly for babies, young people and families. Integrated Care Systems, faced with the twin pressures of laying the foundations for a healthy society and integrating current health and care provision, can often find their priorities weighted towards crisis intervention over early intervention and prevention as they work to address day-to-day challenges.
Early intervention is vital. Many health inequalities begin in childhood, influenced by various factors, including social determinants and congenital conditions. Addressing these early can significantly improve health trajectories, prevent chronic conditions, and reduce reliance on healthcare services later in life.
Therefore, Award entries should focus on addressing these multiple challenges, supporting user experience and reversing crisis-management, so that babies, children and young people are not destined to rely on frequent and expensive health care as they grow into adulthood.
Judges are looking for entries that demonstrate tangible improvements in access, experience and outcomes for children, young people or families, built on strong partnerships and using data and insights effectively and intelligently to target interventions and demonstrate measurable impact, outlining what has actually made a difference for our future generations.
Eligibility
All NHS organisations (including providers, partnerships and systems), General Practice and primary care organisations.
