“Congratulations to Skills for Health and Health Education England and their HASO project on getting a high commendation for the Best Not for Profit Working in Partnership with the NHS at this year’s HSJ Partnership Awards. The entrants this year have been of incredible calibre, and the finalists have been chosen based on their outstanding commitment to collaboration with the NHS and innovation in healthcare. The high quality and quantity of entrants in 2020 posed a very difficult challenge to our influential judging panel, who were impressed by the breadth of applications demonstrating real evidence of cost savings and efficiencies, as well as improvements to patient care.
