It means that patients can get advice without having to book and wait for an appointment with an occupational therapist.

Occupational therapy manager Jane Pegg and senior occupational therapist Sue Buckley picked up the accolade during a recent ceremony in London.

Councillor Dale Smith, executive member for adult services, said: "This is a fantastic achievement and underlines what a useful tool this website is."
