Alder Hey Children’s NHS Trust, Cancer Research UK and the Department of Health, NHS England, Public Health England and The Royal Free Hospital for ‘Ebola Health Communications’ were among those honoured at last night’s Chartered Institute for Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards.

Held at Old Billingsgate the awards night brought together 110 PR consultancies, freelancers and in-house teams.

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Trust took home Outstanding In-House Team, while Cancer Research UK’s ‘Campaign for plain standard packaging of tobacco products’ scooped the Public Affairs gong and Kirklees Council took home the Public Sector award for its ‘Domestic Abuse Awareness’ work.

Judges of the Issues & Crisis Management category highlighted that the winner, the Department of Health, NHS England, Public Health England and The Royal Free Hospital for ‘Ebola Health Communications’, “demonstrated value for money, partnership and collaboration on a significant scale in dealing with a complex and very dynamic issue … significantly shifting public sentiment on Ebola in the UK”.

CIPR president, Sarah Pinch, commented: “Recent criticism of public sector and public facing communications is unwarranted and divisive, and we should be proud that the reputation of our sector is built by the high standards of professionalism, skill, creativity, integrity, and tenacity demonstrated by the campaigns and teams winning tonight’s awards.

“Over the next 12 months we will shine a light on these exemplars of best practice, not only because they are at the cutting edge of truly integrated communications, but also because they collectively are taking professional PR practice to the next level, delivering value for money, for chief executives, directors, the public, and across their organisations.”
