On Wednesday 14 June, I finally had the wonderful opportunity to announce the winners of this year\u2019s Nursing and Midwifery Awards.\u00a0These Awards are provided every year to a small number of exceptional individuals who go above and beyond to provide care for the patients and their families who attend our health service.\u00a0Every year I am thrilled at the level of nominations, the thought that colleagues take in their descriptions of the wonderful attributes of individuals in their teams and the opportunity to celebrate the excellence of our professional nurses and midwives.<\/h4>\n

This year\u2019s outstanding recipients are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Assistant in Nursing of the Year \u2013 John Lines, Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service<\/li>\n
  • Enrolled Nurse of the Year \u2013 Selina Woodbridge, Community and Oral Health<\/li>\n
  • New Graduate of the Year \u2013 Dana Allen, The Prince Charles Hospital<\/li>\n
  • Registered Nurse of the Year \u2013 Emma Thomson, Caboolture, Kilcoy and Woodford<\/li>\n
  • Registered Midwife of the Year \u2013 Natalie Muir, Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital<\/li>\n
  • Registered Nurse\/Midwife Leader of the Year \u2013 Sandra Warden, Redcliffe Hospital and Amanda Tully, Metro North Virtual ED<\/li>\n
  • Significant Contribution to First Nations\/Health Equity Initiatives \u2013 Grace Adams, Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In addition, we awarded the Dr Lesley Fleming OAM Award for Excellence.\u00a0Many of you will remember Dr Fleming.\u00a0Lesley was the first Executive Director of Nursing and Midwifery in Metro North Hospital and Health Service and my immediate predecessor.\u00a0Lesley\u2019s mantra as a passionate nurse was that we as nurses and midwives are the guardians of our profession and nursing and midwifery clinical standards.\u00a0So this award gives us a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge someone who meets her passion head on and espouses the virtues that were so near and dear to her.<\/p>\n

    \"STARS\"JohnThis year the winner of the Dr Lesley Fleming OAM Award was Cathy Boyle, Metro North Mental Health.<\/p>\n

    I didn\u2019t receive many photographs of this year\u2019s virtual award ceremony, but thank you to STARS who sent these wonderful shots of John Lines and the STARS team as they congratulated him on his achievement.\u00a0Well done, STARS.<\/p>\n

    Congratulations to all of our winners and well done to everyone who supported their winning colleagues and for what each and every one of you do every single day to support our patients, families, the health service and each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>
