The awards were created in 2015 by the Solihull Together for better lives partnership: NHS Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, West Midlands Ambulance Service, Solihull voluntary and community sector and lay members representing people using their services, their carers and the wider Solihull community.

For 2016 the awards are celebrating the work of individuals and organisations who provide outstanding care and support to adults in Solihull.

Among the category finalists this year are a host from Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust has two finalists in the Health Professional of the Year category – Dr Susan Powell, consultant geriatrician at Solihull Hospital and Dr Vijayan Suresh, consultant physician and nephrologist at Solihull Hospital.

In the Care Team of the Year category there are nominations for the Care of the Elderly Team at Solihull Hospital, while the Enhanced Care Team at Solihull Hospital is shortlisted for the Award for Dementia-friendly Service.

Meanwhile, the Solihull Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme and Discharge to Assess Team are shortlisted for the Award for Collaborative Working. Other nominations for the Trust include the Diabetes & Endocrinology Department’s nod for the Award for Outstanding Customer Experience.

The Solihull Together Chairman’s Award, which is given by the Awards Judging Panel to an individual or organisation that has demonstrated outstanding commitment to improving the lives of Solihull citizens, will be revealed at the ceremony.
