County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT), in collaboration with Medanets, is proud to announce that it was shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious HSJ Patient Safety Congress & Awards in the category of Safety Improvement through Technology.

This recognition highlights the impact of data-driven collaboration in improving patient outcomes. Our joint nomination focused on innovative initiatives in:

  • Falls assessment

  • Lying & standing blood pressure monitoring

  • Intentional rounding

These projects, supported by Medanets’ mobile digital tools and CDDFT’s clinical expertise, have contributed to positive outcomes in falls reduction, a critical area of patient safety.

This achievement reflects the dedication of our teams to harness technology for meaningful change at the frontline of care.

The digital tools are a result of quality improvement efforts led by our Nurses and Healthcare Assistants, working closely with the Patient Safety team.

Thank you to everyone involved for your commitment to safer, smarter healthcare.
