Michelle Field, advanced occupational therapist, Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Receiving this award is fantastic. Not only does it acknowledge the hard work that has been put into making the sensory service a success, but it also promotes sensory processing at a critical time in modelling neurodiversity services.”

Bernie Dawson, strategic lead for children, young people and maternity, NHS Hull CCG, said: “We are the first CCG in the Humber, Coast and Vale area to commission this successful, innovative service that provides support to children and young people with sensory needs and their families.

“We are delighted that the incredible team behind this project has been recognised at the HSJ Patient Safety Awards.”
