Lancashire and South Cumbria Critical Care and Major Trauma Specialised Services Clinical Network shortlisted at HSJ Patient Safety Awards 2025

The Lancashire and South Cumbria Critical Care and Major Trauma Specialised Services Clinical Network is proud to announce it has been shortlisted as a finalist at the HSJ Patient Safety Awards 2025, in recognition of its outstanding commitment to improving patient safety and driving innovation in healthcare.
The announcement comes after a rigorous judging process by a panel of esteemed healthcare leaders and patient safety experts. Critical Care and Major Trauma Specialised Services Clinical Network has been recognised in the category Improving Medcines Safety Award for its project Lancashire and South Cumbria Critical Care Drug Monographs

Organised by the Health Service Journal (HSJ), the Patient Safety Awards celebrate the teams and individuals going above and beyond to protect patients from harm, reduce risks, and embed a culture of safety across the UK healthcare sector.
​
Shaun Morgan is the lead pharmacist for the network and project lead:
“The Lancashire & South Cumbria (L&SC) Critical Care system is committed to an effective and efficient approach to collaborative working. Our vision is to deliver patient centred, safe, efficient, effective, and resilient Critical Care to patients.  A Critical Care Improvement Programme (CCIP) with a dedicated medication workstream was implemented in 2021. This focused on clinical engagement and a whole system collaborative approach with our multidisciplinary team (MDT) to develop a catalogue of Critical Care Drug Monographs. These are to ensure standardised and safe intravenous drug preparation across our network which consists of six units in four organisations to improve patient safety with medication. To be recognised by the HSJ awards is a testament to the hard work members of the team have put into this project over the last 4 years and continue to put into this project.”
​

This year’s awards ceremony will take place on 15 September 2025 at Manchester Central, bringing together hundreds of healthcare professionals from across the country. Winners will be announced during a prestigious evening celebration following the HSJ Patient Safety Congress.
