The NSW Health Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery Awards is an important annual event that acknowledges the significant skill, passion and valued contributions of nurses and midwives from across NSW Health.
This year we re-imagined the format of the Awards to ensure the best and brightest nurses and midwives in NSW are celebrated in a COVID-safe way. The Awards were presented online on 26th November.
Congratulations to the winners of the NSW Health Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery Awards 2020.
