We were delighted to have been shortlisted at the recent HSJ Patient Safety Awards in the Improving Safety and Outcomes for Minority Ethnic Communities, with our Anti Racism Hub Pertussis Collaboration.
Now in their 16th year, the HSJ Patient Safety Awards recognise outstanding individuals and teams improving patient safety across health and care, at a time of major change and long-standing pressures for the system.
Rebecca Ross-Williams, Creative Director of Liverpool Lighthouse, commented:
"We are so proud of the success of this Pertussis creative health initiative. After six months of collaboration global majority women who nationally are half as represented in pertussis immunisation than the wider population are now 30% more vaccinated than the wider population in Liverpool. Pertussis is deadly for babies and this success comes from lived experience leading co-production with Liverpool Women’s Hospital, Liverpool Lighthouse and Brownlow and Anfield and Everton PCN’s. To be shortlisted for this award is an honour and provides opportunity to widen the sharing of practice."
