Hospital Media and Communications Team shortlisted for two awards

The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital’s Media and Communications Team has been shortlisted for two awards from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR).

The hospital team has been shortlisted for the Healthcare Campaign of the Year and the Community Relations Campaign of the Year. The Healthcare Campaign focused on the Proud to be an NNUH Flu Fighter campaign which contributed to the Trust’s best ever flu vaccination performance. The Community Relations Campaign of the Year focused on the Dementia Information and Advice Fayre, which was held during Dementia Awareness Week 2017, and was an opportunity for those living with dementia and their families and carers to see what support is on offer in Norfolk. 

The CIPR Awards winners for the Anglia, Thames and Chiltern Region will be announced at an event in Cambridge on the 28th September 2017.

Fiona Devine, Director of Communications at NNUH, said: “The team is really pleased to have been nominated for two awards. Both the flu campaign and dementia information fayre provided great communications support to the hospital and we are so pleased to have been recognised by the CIPR and to be finalists in these Awards.”

Mark Davies, Chief Executive of NNUH said: “The team has done a fantastic job in being shortlisted for the awards. I would like to thank them for all their work in the Trust on staff and public communications. Good communications is very important and vital to the Trust.”

The NNUH Communications team is comprised of Fiona Devine, Janice Bradfield, Sophie Black, Lizzie Gayton, Lynn Crombie and Clare Simpson.
