Our time critical medication data dashboard wins HSJ Partnership Award
We've been recognised for addressing a recurring patient safety issue, and supporting the NHS to make improvements across the system.
Our time critical medication dashboard won the award for the ‘Most effective contribution to improving care for those with long term conditions’ at the The HSJ Partnership Awards last night (19 March).
The awards ceremony, taking place in London, recognised projects for their outstanding dedication to improving healthcare and effective collaboration with the NHS.
We saw off tough competition to win the award with over 240 entries for the awards overall, and 7 shortlisted in our category.
Time critical medication: the problem
Over half of people with Parkinson’s don’t get their medication on time, every time in hospital. These delays can cause symptoms to get worse, increase anxiety, and affect talking, swallowing, and walking. In the worst case, they can even be fatal.
To help solve this problem, we worked with The PSC to develop a data dashboard that helps hospitals understand the health and financial cost of not getting medication on time, and the real difference taking action to address this problem can make.
We’ve been relentlessly campaigning with the Parkinson’s community and working with hospitals to improve how they manage time critical medication.
This dashboard is a critical new resource to show how hospitals can and need to go further.
Rowan Wathes, Associate Director of Policy and Health Strategy at Parkinson’s UK, said:
“We’re really proud that our time critical medication data dashboard has been recognised with a 2026 HSJ Partnership Award. Too many people with Parkinson’s are still not getting their time critical medication on time, every time in hospital.
"This has to change. And our dashboard can make a real difference by supporting hospitals to make the urgent changes that are needed, so that no one with Parkinson’s fears going into hospital because they can’t get the medication they rely on.
"We are immensely grateful to The PSC for working with us to develop this dashboard, and to the healthcare professionals and experts on the Oversight Group for making it such a success.”
