THE MYTON Hospices’ GP Information Clinics are in the running for two more national awards.
The charity has been shortlisted as a finalist in two categories at the national Palliative and End of Life Care Awards – The Partnership Working Across Health & Social Care Award and The Innovation in End-of-Life Social Care Award.
Both categories recognise Myton’s GP Information Clinics, which are designed to ensure people with life-limiting illnesses are connected with the right support earlier in their illness. Working in partnership with Primary Care Networks, they help streamline referral pathways, build a better understanding of hospice care, and support patients and their carers to feel more confident in accessing available support from the point of diagnosis.
Importantly, the clinics also strengthen relationships with GP practices, ensuring more healthcare professionals understand the full range of services Myton offers.
Myton spokesperson Olivia Bowskill said: “We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for these national awards. Our GP Information Clinics represent a significant shift in how we deliver palliative care, bringing specialist care directly into GP practices so people can access the right support at the right time.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our collaboration with Primary Care Networks and our shared commitment to improving experiences and outcomes for patients and families.”
The GP Information Clinics have previously received national recognition, winning the Innovator in Care Award at the Hospice UK Awards.
The winners of the Palliative and End of Life Care Awards will be announced at the awards ceremony on July 2.
