A group of South Lincolnshire nurses have been celebrating after receiving a prestigious award.
The 18-strong team from Allied Health were crowned the Neighbourhood Specialist Nursing Team by the Royal College of Nursing.
“Their integrated approach brings together health and social care providers and community organisations and focuses on the things that matter to people,” said the citation.
Team member Kieran Harris said: “Our forward-thinking team is making a difference by working together with each individual person to identify what matters to them, and recognise what can be done to help keep local people safe, well and happy in their own homes.
“Our focus is that people want a life, not a service, and we are working with colleagues and people with lived experience across our health and care system to make this real for people,” he added.
Team member Jessica Merritt added: “To win this award is an honour and a surprise against such strong and worthy finalists.
“It means the world to our team and proves how far we have come in improving services and listening to and prioritising what matters to the people of South Lincolnshire.”
