SAGE Awards 2011-2012
SAGE Awards, a national awards programme to recognise excellence in gastroenterology, is accepting entries for 2011/2012
The SAGE Awards – Shire Awards for Gastrointestinal Excellence, is now accepting entries for 2011/2012. These awards, supported by Shire, are designed to allow individuals, units and healthcare networks in GI care to be recognised for innovative work, share best practice and raise standards of patient care. Three awards will be made in the form of financial grants to the amount of £10,000, £5,000 and £3,000, for use towards furthering the development of the project.
Applications must be consultant led and will be accepted from all professional groups working in GI care, including patient representative groups working in collaboration with clinical teams. Collaborative projects bringing together professionals from two or more health board areas or across specialities, disciplines or sectors are also welcomed.
The awards judging panel* will oversee the evaluation, assessment and awarding of the SAGE Awards and will be looking for entries that show innovation in the field of GI care and a significant improvement in patient care. The judging panel’s assessment of entries, selection of evaluation criteria, meetings, deliberations and decisions are entirely independent of Shire.
The closing date for initial registration of interest is Friday 10 February 2012. Entry packs and further information can be obtained from renh@jangocom.com
