A DOCTOR from Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) has won an award for her campaign to get rid of the bleep system.
Sarah Hart's campaign is called 'Bye Bye Bleep.' She won Future Digital Leader of the Year at the national Digital Health Awards for leading UHMBT to become one of the first NHS Trusts to replace the bleep system with a new smart-phone based system.
The new system will make it easier for NHS trusts to collate data from the wards and for clinicians to use.

Sarah said: “High-quality data is important as it can lead to improvements in patient care and patient safety. It plays a crucial role in improving services and decision-making, as well as helping us to identify trends and patterns, draw comparisons, predict future events and outcomes, and evaluate services."
“I act as the interface between the staff on the shop floor and the digital team, so when I hear colleagues talking about the digital processes they use every day I am able to use their feedback to actively look for any developments."
“If we can make life easier for the clinicians, we can help make things safer for our patients."
