Health and Wellbeing

Sponsored by Duchy Hospital:

The Health and Wellbeing award is a prestigious recognition that celebrates individuals, organisations, or initiatives dedicated to improving the physical, mental, and emotional health of their communities. This award honours those who have made significant contributions to promoting healthier lifestyles, mental health awareness, and overall wellbeing, through advocacy, education, and action.

Recipients of the Health and Wellbeing award often focus on creating environments where people can thrive, whether it’s through providing access to healthcare, promoting fitness, supporting mental health, or encouraging healthy eating habits. Their efforts are aimed at addressing key issues such as health disparities, mental health stigma, chronic illness prevention, and improving general quality of life. Whether through innovative programs, community outreach, or leading by example, these individuals or groups empower others to make healthier choices and prioritise their wellbeing.

The criteria for the Health and Wellbeing award typically include the positive impact of the recipient’s work on the physical and mental health of individuals or communities. This could involve reducing health inequalities, raising awareness about critical health issues, or developing strategies to support the mental and emotional wellbeing of others. The award celebrates those who lead with compassion and have shown a long-term commitment to improving health outcomes and promoting wellness.

This award highlights the importance of fostering a culture of health and wellbeing in all aspects of life. It serves as a reminder that health is not just about physical fitness but also mental and emotional resilience, and that true wellbeing is a balance of all three. By honouring those who make these contributions, the Health and Wellbeing Award inspires others to take active roles in improving their own health and supporting the wellbeing of others, ultimately creating stronger and more resilient communities.

Duchy Hospital is Cornwall's only private hospital, part of Ramsay Health Care UK, one of the leading independent healthcare providers in England.

The hospital has an excellent reputation for delivering high quality healthcare for patients with health insurance, patients who are self-funding treatment or NHS patients exercising choice through the e-referral system.

We are proud to be in partnership with some of the most qualified and experienced Consultants, along with dedicated staff who are highly trained and pride themselves on maintaining the highest levels of patient care to encourage a full and speedy recovery.

We ensure all our staff are appropriately trained and receive regular updates in order to provide an excellent holistic clinical service based on current research. Your treatment will be Consultant led, and you will be treated by the same consultant throughout your treatment pathway.

As well as expert medical care we aim to provide superior facilities over and above those that you would find in any other local hospital. For example, most of our food is freshly prepared on the premises using local suppliers for meat, fruit and vegetables. We also offer free parking for all patients and visitors and all of our rooms have en-suite facilities as standard.

Our healthcare business has been built up over 30+ years of service provided by our experienced and qualified teams of doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals and managers. We also utilise the best practice ideas from our 35 sister facilities that are operated by Ramsay Health Care in the UK. We continually work with our infection control officer to minimise infection risk and maintain our excellent low rates of infection.

No-one chooses to be unwell but if you need hospital treatment, we hope that you would choose Duchy hospital based on its reputation for excellent clinical outcomes, its facilities and its friendly nature. We are your local hospital in the heart of your community.

It is because we care, that we are proud to say that 99.4% of our patients would recommend us.
