Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust's operations managers have won a national award.

They were recognised at the Proud2bOps conference in Bolton for their "impressive service improvements" for patients.

The team were given the Operational Improvement Initiative of the Year award for their work in reducing waiting lists, length of stay in the Medicine Division, and time to first outpatient attendance.

They have also improved performance in treating cancer patients and increased productivity in the use of theatres.

Managing director Lisa Thomas said: "It’s great to see our staff’s hard work, dedication, and expertise being recognised nationally, it’s a fantastic achievement.

"Although they’ve all only been in post for a relatively short space of time, they have helped to deliver some impressive service improvements for our patients."

The operations managers were introduced at the hospital in late 2023.
