Braemar Hospital has been named the winner of the Logiqc Safety Culture Award at the NZ Private Surgical Hospitals Association 2026 Awards in September.
It is a national award, decided against strong competition, and one the Braemar Hospital was incredibly proud to bring home.
Our winning entry put the spotlight on our Evidence-Based Leadership Programme, and how it’s helped embed psychological safety to learn from mistakes into the way our teams lead, communicate and support one another to make lives better.
Special thanks to our Quality and Risk Manager, Laura Houchen, and Clinical Nurse Educator, Jos Itayi, for their leadership on this. As well as every one of our leaders and staff who share opportunities to learn, even if it’s what not to do, and champion psychological safety day in, day out.
