Your chance to shout about the work nurses do

The RCN Nurse of the Year 2020 will be chosen from the category winners, all of which will be announced at a ceremony in London on 8 July.

RCN vice-president and chair of judges Yvonne Coghill says: ‘The RCNi Nurse Awards are the perfect opportunity to shout loud and proud about the work that nurses do day in, day out and the extraordinary difference their efforts make to the people they support and care for.

‘Nurses often think they are just doing their job, but it is important to highlight their commitment to their patients, especially in the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.

‘And if nurses share their practice through these awards, others can learn from their successes and more patients will see the benefit.’

Entries must be submitted by Friday 7 February.
