Last year’s award was won by the Black Country Partnership NHS Trust for designing a de-escalation procedure for staff and patients to reduce the use of restraint.
Since winning, the team has been contacted by the Ministry of Justice, as well as health commissioners as far away as Geneva, expressing interest in the project.
