BPR Medical’s work to trial the nitrous oxide conversion unit with Newcastle Hospitals and Medclair has been recognised in two awards.
BPR’s entry was the overall winner in the innovation category of this year’s Sustainability Partnership Awards and has been shortlisted in the sustainability achievement category at the 2023 HSJ Partnership Awards. The two awards recognise BPR and Medclair’s dedication to helping the NHS achieve its net zero targets.
Head of sales and marketing at BPR Medical, Safoura Sardari, said: "Not only is this a huge honour for us, but a chance to celebrate working with the great team at Newcastle Hospitals and our Swedish partners Medclair. Winning the Sustainability Partnerships award and being shortlisted for a HSJ Partnership Award has given our team confidence as we look to scale out our project across the NHS. We also hope this can inspire further collaboration in developing innovative solutions to help the NHS reach its net zero goals."
The Sustainability Partnership Awards showcase the organisations and NHS Trusts that are striving to implement sustainable change in the healthcare sector and drive a greener future for the NHS. The Sustainability Partnerships organisation has grown since it established a ‘day of action’ in 2013, and now organises a year-round schedule of events and publishes an Annual Sustainability Impact Report on sustainability initiatives in the NHS.
The HSJ Partnership Awards recognise and honour the most effective partnerships, innovative projects and collaborations in the UK health system. The prestigious award programme, now in its sixth year, is not just a celebration of success stories but also a platform to shape the future of our new integrated health and care system.
The judging panel comprised a diverse range of highly regarded figures across the NHS and wider healthcare sector. To be shortlisted as a finalist for these awards, despite tough competition from a pool of brilliant applications, is a mark of real achievement for BPR Medical. The nitrous oxide conversion unit project at Newcastle Hospitals has been selected based on its diligence, ambition, and the positive impact that the project has had on practitioners, patients and the environment.
HSJ editor Alastair McLellan added, “We would like to congratulate BPR Medical on being nominated in the category of sustainability achievement ahead of HSJ Partnership Awards 2023. We are looking forward to welcoming them to the ceremony in March, to join us in recognising the very best collaborations and innovations in the healthcare sector. This year’s finalists are of an outstanding calibre and all of them are exceptionally dedicated to enhancing healthcare across the UK.”
The winners will be selected following a rigorous judging stage ahead of the HSJ Partnership Awards 2023 awards ceremony. The awards evening is expected to be attended by national healthcare leaders and professionals from both the NHS and private sector as well as figures from non-clinical backgrounds to celebrate innovation and collaboration in healthcare.
