Recognition of Excellence Scheme
The Healthcare Innovation Partnership offers a programme of collaborative research and education innovation funding and a programme dedicated to supporting a recognition scheme of clinical and academic excellence. This recognition leads to the awarding of the status of ‘University Department of...’
The HIP has established a framework of criteria against which excellence will be demonstrated, in our three core areas of Clinical/Operational Outcomes, Research/Innovation and Education/Staff Development. Each core area has been split into three domains and scoring will be made against the level of achievement in each domain.
Evidence should align with the trust’s values – Compassionate, Aspirational, Resourceful and Excellent and demonstrate how the department delivers care in line with the Trust’s strategic priorities and the clinical service strategy.
