TSA Crystal Awards 2013

“Winning the Crystal Award highlighted the fantastic results that a Housing Association working in partnership can produce to improve the lives of local people. Customers are at the heart of all we do and our success in the Awards showcased this aspect of our work to a national audience.”

“Our Careline team all work extremely hard every day but when an individual’s commitment to going the extra mile was recognised through a Crystal Award last year, it certainly helped to boost staff morale.”

Carole Mulvaney - South Essex Homes - Winners of last year's Going the Extra Mile Award

What are the TSA Crystal Awards?

Technology enabled services including telecare, telehealth and telecoaching are proving to be invaluable to service users, patients, their families and carers. TSA’s members provide the vast majority of services to the 1.7 million connected customers in the UK. We regularly read about top quality service delivery, technological innovation, and organisations that go that extra mile to ensure their customers receive the very best products and services possible. The TSA Crystal Awards have been designed to recognise excellence within these services across the UK, and we encourage you to enter.

Why enter the TSA Crystal Awards?

With the crisis facing health and social care, and the need to drive service redesign to meet these changing demands, technology enabled services including telecare, telehealth and telecoaching are becoming increasingly important. Ultimately we are working toward maintaining the health and wellbeing of individuals, including our own families, across the UK.

We want to know how YOU are making a difference, and to recognise those who are delivering the very best in telecare and telehealth through the prestigious Crystal Awards 2013. The deadline for receipt of entries is midnight on 27 September 2013. Don’t let your organisation miss out on the chance for your hard work to be recognised and rewarded. Entry categories are outlined below.

2013 Crystal Award Categories

Organisations are encouraged to enter more than one category, but must submit a separate entry for each. Please note that you may not submit the same entry into more than one category, so think carefully about the category where your entry best fits.

The Crystal Awards are open to any member of TSA who is involved in the delivery of technology enabled services, including telecare, telehealth and telecoaching. The exception is the TSA International Award, which is new for 2013 and open to members and non-members operating internationally.
