We are delighted to have been shortlisted in the HSJ Digital Awards 2024. Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council, South Gloucestershire Council, NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB together with NHS SCW have been shortlisted in the Connecting Health and Social Care through Digital award category. This award recognises the teams connecting health and social care to improve experience and outcomes for local citizens.

Project summary
This project, led by the Connecting Care Partnership and managed by NHS SCW, provides a new way to safely share agreed social care documents from local authorities for children and adults.

Appropriately authorised health and care professionals delivering direct care to individuals and families can use Connecting Care to view up-to-date social care information, together with health and mental health data in Connecting Care.

This social care information supports better quality care provision, reduces service cost, and supports better decision-making, (particularly around safeguarding) and commissioning.

We were supported by the NHS England ‘Connecting Care Records’ programme.

The winner will be announced on Thursday, 6 June 2024.
