The winners of the first One Bromley ‘Celebrating Integration Together’ staff awards were announced at the Celebration Event on 19 May 2022. Finalists from across the One Bromley health and care system came together for an evening celebrating teamwork, collaboration and hard work. They were recognised for their commitment, resilience, and everything they do on a day-to-day basis for Bromley residents.

Compere for the evening was Dr Andrew Parson, Bromley GP and Clinical Lead for the One Bromley Local Care Partnership. Andrew said, “The awards are a fantastic way to celebrate our workforce, from the award finalists to everyone working across Bromley services together to care for our residents. We were overwhelmed with the high number of good quality applications for the awards, which shows just how much our services are working collaboratively together. It was a very special evening, bringing together so many talented and committed people working across organisational boundaries with a common goal of providing the best care possible”.

“Reflecting over the last two incredibly tough years, we have much to be proud of. As COVID struck, Bromley health and care services came together in a way I have never witnessed before and it was truly humbling. None of what we have achieved over the last few years would have been possible without the dedication of every individual working together to support our residents as well as each other”.

Cllr Diane Smith, Executive Councillor for Adult Services and Health said: “Bromley Council is completely committed to delivering the ambitions of our ‘Making Bromley Even Better’ corporate strategy jointly with our partner agencies. Strong partnerships across local public services, our voluntary and community sectors, faith and community groups, as well as businesses, are key to delivering our plans. In this way, our work with health colleagues has produced award-winning services and we intend to build on this collaboration into the future. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw these relationships go from strength to strength and we have our committed teams both within the Council and Health to thank for this. Whether an award winner or not, everyone involved should be extremely proud of the services we have delivered, and continue to deliver, for the benefit of the residents of our borough”.
