Positive Practice in Mental Health Awards in partnership with the collaborative.
The ceremony was extremely well attended and was even bigger than previous
years, which goes to show just how much positive practice there is to celebrate
across the country. It was a fantastic night full of fun and enjoyed by everyone
who attended. The event really highlights the dedication from organisations
across the country to providing high quality care for service users, their
families and carers. It's also a great way to remember and celebrate the
achievements of our own staff and highlight the fantastic work that is taking
place right here in Lancashire. As always, the standard of the nominations was
fabulous and everyone who was nominated should be extremely proud.
Congratulations to all those who received an award this year, you truly are
examples of people who go above and beyond your role in mental health!"
