Nominations are now open for the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Awards, offering members a chance to acknowledge colleagues and other nursing staff who’ve made a major contribution in their voluntary ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ roles. They give up their time for free to support members and make a real difference to the working lives of nursing staff.

The awards recognise the hard work and achievements of members in a number of categories. The ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Award of Merit is the highest honour given for voluntary service to the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾.

The Representative of the Year Awards include Learning Representative of the Year, Health and Safety Representative of the Year, and Steward of the Year. The ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Student Ambassador of the Year Award is open to student ambassadors who have made a difference at their university and shown outstanding commitment to the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ and its student members.

The ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Forum Achievement Awards celebrate members’ exceptional contributions to the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾’s professional forums.

In addition to celebrating those who support the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ voluntarily, we are also asking for Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship nominations. These are awarded to innovative individuals who have made an exceptional commitment to advancing the science and practice of nursing, and to the improvement of health and patient care. Becoming an ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Fellow means joining a distinguished community of highly respected professionals. The ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ calls on all its Fellows to engage in our work and help strengthen the voice and influence of nursing.

Cash prizes, sponsored by LV, are awarded to winners in the Representative, Student Ambassador and Forum Achievement categories. The prize for the award winners is £500, while commendees receive £250.

The closing date for nominations is Tuesday 16 January 2024, with winners announced on Sunday 2 June at ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Congress in Wales.

¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ President Sheila Sobrany, who chairs the awards committee, said the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Awards offer an opportunity to recognise and celebrate excellence, expertise and dedication in nursing: “Now’s the chance for members to nominate those who are deserving of these incredibly special awards and highlight the difference those individuals make to the profession.

“All nursing staff are exceptional in so many ways, but the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Awards allow us to shine a light on and say thank you to those who have gone above and beyond, and truly represent the best of the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ and nursing.”

Please note, ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ staff cannot be nominated in the awards – this includes ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ officers.
