Northumbria Healthcare Nhs Foundation Trust

A $1.2 million fellowship funds Rosie Morris's research at Northumbria University to develop a rehabilitation program improving turning ability in Parkinson’s patients, building on past projects using digital technologies. The project includes a systematic review, focus groups, and collaboration with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust won the Safer Care award at the RLDatix Awards 2024 for improving safe staffing practices through a new system. The project, led by the trust’s NMAHP and Workforce Systems teams, provided real-time data on staff movements to ensure the right skill mix, reducing unnecessary staff moves and supporting staff wellbeing. The trust was also shortlisted in four other categories, three of which received highly commended status.
