Award goes to Camden Learning Disability Service
The Camden Learning Disability Service, which is jointly managed by Camden Council, Whittington Health NHS Trust and the Camden and Islington NHS Trust, recently received an honour.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists has given the collaboration a national award, recognising the staff as the team of 2020 for helping people with intellectual disability. Business cards are useful for professionals, and achievements like this can be mentioned on them.
A separate awards ceremony was held by the Camden and Islington NHS Trust towards the end of November. This event involved distributing 14 accolades, and a minute of silence was observed to remember an administrator who passed away.
Sally Quinn, who is a director of human resources at the trust, told the Ham & High:
Professor Angela Hassiotis is a consultant psychiatrist on an honorary basis and works for the learning disability service. She explained how pleased she was to the Ham & High. Service users have received support and this has reduced the number of acute admissions to beds for inpatients by approximately 85% over a five-year period. Health-focused Councillor Pat Callaghan was also positive about the news.

“Although we weren’t able to celebrate our awards in person like we usually do, the awards were still a chance to have an evening dedicated to saying thank you to our NHS and C&I stars.”
