RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards 2022
The Royal College of Nursing in Scotland was delighted to hold its first RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards.
The awards were designed to recognise, highlight and celebrate the dedication and outstanding professional care of nursing staff across Scotland.
From rural communities to the big cities, from the NHS, care homes and others in the independent sector, nominations were received that demonstrate the best of nursing – through innovation, excellence in practice, leadership and commitment.
We celebrated and honoured the incredible work of Scotland’s nursing staff, day in, day out.
The nominations process has now closed and are being considered by our judging panels.
Following the nomination process, nominees selected to move to the judging round will be invited to attend a virtual interview with a panel of judges during the first three weeks of March 2024.
If you have any questions or queries regarding the awards, please get in touch by emailing scotlandnurseawards@rcn.org.uk
