Earlier this month, we were very excited to pick up not one but three awards at the NHS Excellence in Supply Awards organised by the Midlands Customer Board.

Held at the Jurys Inn in Hinckley, Word360 won Best Patient Experience, Support Service of the Year and the greatest accolade of the evening, Supplier of the Year which was chosen by the judges from all of the applications.

The Supplier of the Year Award recognised the best overall performance from an NHS supplier across several performance metrics such as quality, delivery and support, account performance management, and innovation. The Patient Experience Award focused on suppliers who demonstrated and shared best practices in providing outstanding patient experiences.

In presenting the Supplier of the Year, the judges praised Word360 for their commitment to delivering quality support services to local communities across the Midlands.

‘This is a fantastic achievement following a recording-breaking year across the business.  The awards recognise our role in driving inclusivity across the Midlands by using new technologies and systems to promote better communication across communities.’ says Kavita Parmar, Chief Commercial Officer.

In our submission, we highlighted our work over the past year to ensure equitable access to all
