A Hampshire Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust team have received an award at the Nursing Times Awards 2025.
The Fundamentals of Care team received the award to recognise their work to improve patient safety.
The team consists of specialist nurses and practitioners who work in various aspects of patient care at Hampshire hospitals; including falls prevention, continence management, and pressure ulcer prevention.
Katie Mashingaidze, Nurse Consultant for Continence at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We are incredibly proud to receive this award, which highlights the hard work and commitment of everyone in the team, as well as the support we’ve received from our partners in primary and secondary care.
"The improvements made in continence care for stroke patients across our pathways has ultimately helped deliver safer patient care and improved outcomes, and we’re excited to build on this success to further improve our service.”
The Fundamentals of Care team were selected as winners in the 'continence care and promotion' category at the national event.
Their work was praised by judges for its impact in “promoting multidisciplinary working and collaboration, keeping dignity and continence outcomes central to the service”.
They were also said to be impressed by the measurable data presented on safety and sustainability, and “clear evidence of collaboration with patients and families”.
As part of their submission, the team also demonstrated improved end-of-life continence care when recovery wasn't possible.
The Nursing Times Awards recognise teams and organisations making nursing innovative, patient-focused and inclusive.
This year, the awards received more than 750 nominations, with 25 winners selected by a panel of judges.
