Helpful hints

  • Preparation is the key - allow yourself plenty of time to develop and submit your entry - make a note of the deadline 17 April 2015
  • Make the judges' job easy - write in clear, plain English, avoid jargon and use bullet points where appropriate to break up the text
  • Pay attention to grammar and spelling – poorly presented entries lack credibility
  • Involve the right people - if your work was a team effort, involve the other team members in developing the entry
  • Use the option to attach documents to support your entry with useful information such as audit data, cost analyses, patient experience survey results, documentation you have designed or anything that will help the judges to understand the impact of your work
  • Ask someone else, such as a colleague or manager, to look through your entry before you submit. It can be helpful to ask someone who was not directly involved in the work you are entering - like the judges they will not have detailed knowledge so they suggest ways to clarify the entry
