Our fantastic REACH Staff Awards are one of Combined’s flagship and most popular events – running since 2015 and have grown each year in terms of nominations received, breadth of Awards and quality of the event.
For 2023, we had a fabulous new venue for the event. The 2023 REACH Awards took place on 15th November 2023 in the Keele Hall Ballroom. And the feedback from our attendees were that it was the best REACH Awards EVER!
For those not able to attend in person, the whole event was broadcast live via this website – and people could choose whether or not to watch the livestream in normal mode or in a fabulous Virtual Reality experience, so they could enjoy the best seat in the house, direct from their living room or workplace.
Also, for 2023, we were delighted to be presenting REACH in partnership with our main event sponsor, Interclass. We were also proud and grateful for award sponsorship from an unprecedented number of organisations:
- CACI
- Dedalus
- IT Works Health
- Port Vale FC
- SERCO
- Stoke City FC
- Town Hospitals Ltd
- Unison
As part of the ceremony, we unveiled this fabulous film celebrating the outstanding partnership between Combined Healthcare and Interclass which is delivering fantastic new facilities at our Harplands Hospitals through Project Chrysalis.
