LaingBuisson Awards: Newcross Healthcare up for two awards

Newcross Healthcare win LaingBuisson award

Newcross Healthcare is a finalist in two categories at the prestigious LaingBuisson Awards 2022. The awards recognise our efforts across recruitment and service management.

Presented by market intelligence company LaingBuisson, these awards celebrate innovation and new standards of excellence across industries. For the 2022 submissions, LaingBuisson received over 600 nominations. Newcross is in the running for awards in the Recruiter and Management Excellence categories, as part of the recently published list of finalists.

Recruiter Excellence Award

The Recruiter Award recognises excellence in the recruitment of professionals across health and social care. In the submission, Newcross highlighted teams leading with a digital first approach to streamline the onboarding process. As well as receiving support from our strong network of local teams across England, Scotland and Wales, new recruits use our innovative HealthForceGo app to sign contracts, complete training, and book on to their first shifts. Moreover, this improved access has enabled new healthcare workers to onboard with the organisation in just 48 hours.

Management Excellence Award

In addition to this, the LaingBuisson Management Excellence Award recognises outstanding management which has delivered exceptional clinical or patient outcomes, financial results, and employee engagement. It celebrates Newcross’ investment in technology and central support teams in order to maintain quality service throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Development in the HealthForceGo app allowed care workers to declare vaccination status and receive on-the-go information. Also, the Stay Safe Panel, led by COO Michelle Gorringe, ensures the organisation is ready to quickly deal with ever-changing circumstances.

Michelle says: “These awards highlight action taken by our teams throughout a difficult time for the industry when the focus was still very much on the recovery from a global pandemic. I couldn’t be prouder that our efforts have been recognised.”

“We’re leading the way as a champion of care workers – with every one of them playing a fantastic, yet vital role in the national healthcare system. The projects and initiatives we highlighted in our awards submission are just some of the ways in which we’re ensuring they have adequate support from robust and efficient processes.”

Chief Executive Officer Stephen Pattrick added: “By utilising our digital-first platforms, we’ve been able to offer nurses and carers control of their professional development remotely. And by completing modular units, our existing healthcare teams were able to work in care environments that require advanced skills which was ever-so important during the pandemic. Our platforms gave them the tools they needed to continue to progress their careers – even when the world seemed to stand still.”

Winners will be announced at the official LaingBuisson Awards ceremony in London on 17th November 2022.
