The 12th annual NSW Health Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery Awards ceremony has been held in Sydney to celebrate some of the outstanding nurses and midwives across the state.
The Awards event, which was held at Parliament House last night, recognise the incredible contributions nurses and midwives make to the health and wellbeing of people in NSW every day.
NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM said the Awards highlighted the remarkable professional achievements, compassion and dedication of NSW nurses and midwives.
“The opportunity to celebrate the excellence and achievements of NSW Health nurses and midwives, many of whom travelled long distances to attend the Awards in person, is a real highlight and I am so pleased for all the winners,” Ms Pearce said.
“I also want to thank all of our nurses and midwives across the state for the skill, professionalism, and heartfelt care they provide each and every day to the people of NSW.”
NSW Health Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Jacqui Cross said the nine award categories celebrate all of NSW Health’s nurses and midwives across the continuum of their career.
“I would like to say a special thank you to all of the consumers and colleagues who took the time to nominate someone who made a positive impact in their life, but also our judging panel, who had to pick winners from a very deserving field of nominees,” Ms Cross said.
