Effective examples of digital innovation would be co-produced with users, carers and practitioners and show early evidence of improving individual health and care outcomes.
- What has your innovation made possible, which was impossible before?
- What impact has your innovation had on individuals and organisations?
- What does your innovation and the evidence collected mean for the future of the wider TECS community and its service users

- How has the organisation empowered its workforce to think and behave differently?

PARTNERSHIPS IN TEC AWARD

These are individuals who involve and empower stakeholders and develop workforce and system-wide strategies. They build on successes and learn from failures, constantly looking to improve quality, impact and cost-effectiveness.

This pivotal Award will celebrate and applaud services that have planned and implemented major transformation across their organisation with a proactive and preventative approach. These examples of transformation are likely to have impacted on the wider network with the objective of accelerating the uptake of TEC and/or streamlining processes for better outcomes.
- How have you delivered major transformation?
- What have been the effects of this transformation on people’s lives and how have you measured this?
