By using digital tools like RESTORE2 and our multifactorial falls prevention tracker, we achieved a 57% reduction in ambulance callouts across 37 care homes from January to March 2024! 🚑👏

Comments from the Carers — safesteps — Saving Lives “I think maybe if I was using it when we had our first outbreak things could've been different because it might've linked me in with the services we needed".

Lee Omar is Best Peer

On Thursday February 26th, it was my privilege to receive the “Best Peer” award at the NIA Summit Awards 2020. In what turned out to be a lovely virtual ceremony, I was able to connect with my distinguished colleagues and celebrate the innovative work that was done in what turned out to be an incredibly challenging year. It was humbling to receive the award from Professor Stephen Powis himself, the National Medical Director of NHS England & NHS Improvement, whose work I have long admired. In the midst of the pandemic and national lockdown, I was honoured to sit in the same (virtual) room as someone who has been on the front line of vaccine administration and distribution.

When I embarked on the NIA journey, I didn’t quite know what to expect. The NIA is an award-winning NHS England initiative. It supports delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan priorities by accelerating the uptake of high-impact innovations for patient, population and NHS staff benefit, and providing practical insights on spread to inform national strategy.
