Barrow and Furness MP Simon Fell has nominated teams from Cumbria Health on Call for the national Parliamentary NHS awards.
The NHS Parliamentary Awards launched in 2018 to celebrate the NHS’s 70th birthday and recognise the outstanding contribution of staff, volunteers and others working in the health and care sector.
Nominations for this year’s awards closed this week and Mr Fell put Cumbria Health on Call’s mental health nursing team and its digital team forward.
He said: “The NHS is one of the nation’s most loved institutions and hardworking NHS staff make it what it is today. The stories I hear from local health services make me incredibly proud of the fact that our constituency contains people willing to provide such fantastic care to our most vulnerable residents.
“Our local Cumbria Health on Call team (CHoC) do a fantastic job meeting patients’ needs during out of hours service times. I am thrilled to be nominating the teams for their fantastic service and dedication, especially given the challenges the NHS is facing after the pandemic.”
