LLR Care Record which 'benefits all local people' up for three major national awards

The LLR Care Record joins up people’s health and care records across the NHS and local authorities.

The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) Care Record has been shortlisted in three categories in the prestigious 2024 HSJ (Health Service Journal) Digital Awards.

The LLR Care Record joins up people’s health and care records across the NHS and local authorities.

It means information recorded about someone’s health and care can be accessed by different professionals who are directly involved in their care.

Laura Godtschalk, LLR Care Record Programme Manager, who has been nominated in the Digital Leader of the Year category, said: “The team is delighted to be shortlisted in the awards – it is recognition of all the hard work that the team has put in and the outstanding support and enthusiasm of all the many hundreds of colleagues who have contributed to get us this far. It is a true partnership project that is bringing together health, social care and voluntary sector organisations for the benefit of all local people.”

More than a million people’s records are now accessible on the LLR Care Record to professionals directly involved in their care.

The programme has been recognised in the ‘Digital Team of the Year’, ‘Digital Leader’ and the ‘Connecting Health and Social Care Through Digital’ categories. 

Local health and care services have also been recognised for the joint Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Connected Care Programme, which has been shortlisted in the category: Connecting Health and Social Care through Digital.

Judges will now further examine all the shortlisted entries before the awards final in Manchester on 6 June 2024.
