Patient Centred Care Award

The CRMEC Patient Centred Care Award celebrates Junior doctors who deliver care that is not only safe and high-quality but also responsive to the preferences, needs and values of the patients and their families.

Junior doctors are closely involved in the day-to-day care of patients, playing a vital role in how care is experienced. By listening, involving patients in decisions, and fostering trust, this award recognises those who exemplify kindness, compassion and respect in their clinical practice.

The winner has been chosen by patient consumer representatives, and acknowledges Junior Doctors whose professionalism, clear communication and empathy have made a difference to their care.

Through this award the CRMEC honours the essential role of Junior doctors in building respectful and compassionate patient partnerships across our hospitals. ..
