The team behind the £47m project to build the new Emergency and Urgent Care Centre in Scarborough has been named as Team of the Year (Non-Clinical) at last night's York and Scarborough NHS Trust Celebration of Achievement Awards.
The project is the largest capital scheme ever undertaken by the Trust and is creating a state-of-the-art facility that the trust says "will transform healthcare on the coast".
In making the award to the UECC Project Team the trust said:
"The team behind this £47m project, has created a state-of-the-art two-storey facility that replaces the existing urgent care services.
The UECC project exemplifies outstanding teamwork and collaboration. Representatives from the Trust and YTHFM, including executives, clinicians, nursing staff, project managers, and construction professionals from Integrated Health Projects (IHP), worked together to overcome challenges such as COVID-19, rapid inflation, and a key subcontractor going into administration.
Throughout the project, the team demonstrated resilience and innovative thinking, optimising the budget and maintaining the project's timeline.
Notably, the project has also delivered significant community benefits, including jobs for 48 previously unemployed local people, work experience for 54 apprentices, and various educational initiatives. The thoughtfully designed facility incorporates calming art and wayfinding strategies, enhancing both patient care and staff wellbeing. This incredible achievement, which has been described as 'an honour to be part of', has undoubtedly improved outcomes for patients and services at Scarborough Hospital"
Trust Chief Exec, Simon Morritt said:
"This event, which rewards the efforts of individuals and teams, is a true celebration of the work we do, individually and collectively, each day as part of the NHS.
For every individual who has been nominated, there are a far greater number of people in the organisation who are right now working hard to put patients and colleagues at the centre of everything we do.
Our celebration tonight provides a small insight into the diversity of skills, expertise, and contributions that our staff provide each day for the benefit of others.
Every year we face increasing challenges and, while we hold ourselves to a very high standard, the pressures we face have never been greater. With that in mind, it is even more important to recognise the contributions we all make, every day, in our own part of the service.
I am extremely proud to host these awards, to be part of this organisation, and more importantly, to work with you in seeking to provide at all times, the very best healthcare we can"
