Nurses and midwives – where would we be without them?
Nominations are open for the 2023 Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery, Healing Heart Awards. If you have been cared for by an outstanding nurse or midwife in Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD), now is your chance to celebrate them!
Consumer Appreciation Award
Members of the public are being invited to nominate nurses and midwives who have demonstrated outstanding care or contributed to improved health outcomes, for the Healing Heart Consumer Appreciation Award.
The annual NNSWLHD Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery Awards acknowledge the contribution and dedication of nurses and midwives working in hospitals and health services across the region.
NNSWLHD Director of Nursing and Midwifery, Katharine Duffy says the awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate nurses and midwives for their significant contribution to patients and to our broader communities. ‘I encourage anyone who has had a great experience with a nurse or midwife anywhere across our region to help us celebrate the great work they do by nominating them for the Consumer Appreciation Award.’
Enormously challenging few years in health
‘It’s been an enormously challenging few years in health, and our nurses and midwives have been at the front line doing a fantastic job of caring for our community through the COVID pandemic and the devastating floods of 2022.’
Nominations are now open and close at 5pm on 14 May 2023. To submit a Healing Heart Consumer Appreciation nomination, visit the NNSWLHD website.
