Influencing Change Hero 2025 award announced

Published: 05 Jun 2025

The winners of the Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2025 Influencing Change Hero award have been announced! Congratulations to:

WINNER: Transforming End of Life Care Quality Improvement Project  (Dr Emily Collis and the Transforming End of Life Care Team); University College London Hospital

A report into end of life care (EOLC) identified that significant improvements were required, and the team coordinated a response, ensuring that EOLC was named as a priority for the trust and identifying and reporting on annual quality priorities around EOL decision making, bereavement support and EOL clinical care. The preferred model for improvement was a clinical EOLC service, building on the SWAN model of care, with 7 days per week holistic clinical reviews of all patients identified to be in their last days of life, regardless of complexity of symptoms.

RUNNER-UP: Evaluating the Impact of a Novel Digital Service Alongside Routine Clinical Care for Post-Covid Syndrome (Suffolk and North Essex Long Covid Team); East Suffolk and North Essex Foundation Trust

This project involved integrating a digital tool alongside routine clinical practice, to enhance recovery support for people living with Long Covid. It introduced a digitally enabled, patient-centred intervention into the Post-Covid Service (PCS), helping individuals to understand and optimise their everyday movement to manage fatigue and improve functional outcomes. Central to the project is a structured clinical audit that has driven continuous service evaluation and improvement. Also, by embedding this model into routine care, the project has facilitated a more sustainable, personalised approach to Long Covid management.
