The winners of the 2022 Nursing Times Awards have been announced at a dazzling event held in London on 26 October.
There were winners across 25 categories including Rising Star, Nurse of the Year and Team of the Year.
“I hope that our awards can go some small way to recognising the effort and skill shown by nursing staff”
Steve Ford
Anne Biggs, an allergy clinical nurse specialist from North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, won Nurse of the Year.
Ms Biggs was described as someone who has “transformed many lives” and who impressed the judges with her outstanding subject matter expertise.
She has led the development of evidence-based allergy services that have had a significant impact, particularly for children with eczema.
Meanwhile, Amy Turton, a community nurse from Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, won the Ann Shuttleworth Rising Star Award.
Judges said Ms Turton was “a true advocate for patients” who ensures the voice of the most vulnerable is heard. They added that she is an “inspiration” for the next generation of learning disability nurses.
During the ceremony, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, there was a fantastic double win for Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust’s project Recovery Riders, which was handed awards for both Team of the Year and Patient Safety Improvement.
The project, led by mental health nurses, sees unclaimed bikes donated by Lancashire Police be used to facilitate weekly patient rides around the West Lancashire countryside in Ormskirk.
It was described by judges as “a genuine grassroots initiative” which has had a “profound impact” on service user outcomes.
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust also received two awards for Continence Promotion and Care and Respiratory Nursing.
Steve Ford, editor of Nursing Times, said: “The Nursing Times Awards showcase the innovation and best practice of nurses and midwives across the UK, providing an opportunity to celebrate and share all that is good about the nursing profession.
“The quality of entries is consistently high each year and to be shortlisted, let alone win a category, is a great achievement that marks out individuals and teams as truly special and ground-breaking in their area of work.
“Our winners are special every year and I hope that our awards can go some small way to recognising the effort and skill shown by nursing staff in providing high quality care, whatever the specialty or setting and despite the enormous challenges they continue to face.
“It’s always a huge pleasure to meet some of our finalists and winners at the awards ceremony. I would like to congratulate all our winners for 2022.”
