We're pleased to announce that last night Flippin’ Pain won a Bright Ideas in Health Award!
The awards celebrate the achievements of individuals and teams in the North East, working within the NHS, industry, and academia. Finalists have improved services to patients through things like technical innovation, creative problem solving or better service delivery.
Hundreds of innovators from across the region submitted deserving entries and Flippin’ Pain was chosen as the outright winner in the category of Innovation in Clinical Education.
Amongst the education events included in our application were the unique Pain in the Spotlight events, that were delivered in London and Newcastle for health care professionals. Who would have thought Family Fortunes and Play Your Cards Right could be such great ways to deliver pain education?
Richard Pell, Director of Flippin’ Pain, said: “I’m delighted with the award. We know that we have a particularly big problem with chronic pain in the North East, yet it’s still so often misunderstood and mismanaged. The activities we’ve been able to offer to professionals over the past 18 months have been a privilege to be a part of. The appetite people have shown for them, and the evaluation outcomes achieved are so inspiring. And it’s all thanks to the backing of Connect Health and the many amazing people that contribute to the campaign.
“In addition to ongoing investment from Connect we have developed some really strong partnerships in the region, including Tees Valley Sport, You’ve Got This (Sport England’s Place Partner in South Tees) and Teesside University. This has provided us with opportunities for learning and opened doors that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible.”
Thank you to everyone who has made this a reality! You can read more about the awards on the Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria website.
We're incredibly proud to have worked with and receive support from some fantastic organisations.
