Sherwood Forest Hospital’s Chief Nurse Awards shortlist announced

The final shortlist for this year’s Sherwood Forest Hospitals Chief Nurse Awards has been announced.   

More than 330 nominations were received from staff, patients and visitors in a number of categories that reflect the Trust’s core values and are designed to recognise those inspirational nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, health care support workers, housekeepers and students that make a difference to patients.  This year the awards are also honouring outstanding educational achievements and outstanding leadership, as well as the overall Chief Nurse Award, chosen by Chief Nurse, Suzanne Banks. 

Chief Nurse, Suzanne Banks, said: “We have had more nominations than ever before this year, which has been brilliant to see, but has also made our jobs as judges very hard! I’d like to congratulate everyone who was nominated or shortlisted. 

“We read about so many examples of outstanding personal and compassionate care from our nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, health care support workers, housekeepers and students, it really made me so proud of our workforce.  

“It is important to celebrate colleagues that provide outstanding care day in day out, and I would like to thank everyone that took the time to submit a nomination.” 

Winners will be announced at a special ceremony on Friday 7 June at Kelham House in Newark.
