The efforts to boost the digital safety of hospital systems has won a West Norfolk hospital worker a national award.
Kaye Reynolds, who works at King’s Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, has been named the Clinical Safety Officer of the Year at the 2025 Digital Health Awards.
Judges wanted to recognise her leadership, innovation and dedication to her work, as well as her national leadership setting up CSO Coffee and Chat which allows 500 colleagues across the UK to share things they have learned and how to tackle challenges.
Kaye said: “I’m incredibly honoured to receive this recognition. Clinical safety in digital health is such a vital area, and I feel very privileged to work alongside so many passionate, skilled professionals both here at QEH and across the country. Creating and building the CSO Coffee and Chat forum over the last two years has proven a fantastic way to share, learn, develop and connect, not only CSO’s, but others working in digital clinical roles too. It’s a fantastic community of peers who work tirelessly to improve the safety of our digital clinical systems.”
Jonathan Reddington, Director of Digital Information and the New Hospital Programme at The QEH, added: “This is a fantastic achievement for Kaye and a reflection of the digital talent we have at The QEH. Her national recognition demonstrates how our team is not only delivering local improvements but also influencing the digital health agenda across the NHS. We are incredibly proud of her.”
