We are extending the deadline for nominations in this year's first Every Voice Patient Achievement Awards - nominations are now due by 26 July 2024.
We are hosting our first ever Patient Achievement Awards to recognise and value the important contributions our patients make to improving our services and in their own recovery.
Organised by the Every Voice Patient Partners, this is an opportunity to recognise those patient led projects that are not only improving their own experiences, but also benefitting and improving the lives and experiences of peers.
There are six categories open to nominations and people can nominate between now and 26 July to be in with a chance of attending our black tie celebration event in October and be recognised for the amazing work taking place.
The awards are open to anyone accessing mental health, learning disability and autism services provided by LPFT, all we ask is that nominations are for projects and achievements co-produced and delivered by patients.
Below are the categories people can nominate for
