RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards 2022
The Royal College of Nursing in Scotland is delighted to be holding its first RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards.
The awards are 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, we are looking for nominations that demonstrate the best of nursing – through innovation, excellence in practice, leadership and commitment.
We’re looking to celebrate and honour the incredible work of Scotland’s nursing staff, day in, day out. We want you to share experiences of inspiring nursing practice and showcase innovative nurse-led projects that are making a difference for patients, residents and service users.
