Our #150Leaders have been busy winning awards last month at the Student Nursing Times Awards (SNTA), with many others receiving nominations in various categories.
A special congratulations go to two of the #150Leaders who came away with awards on the night. Laura Thomas won Student Midwife of the Year Award, which was presented by the Council’s very own Dr Katerina Kolyva, and Kelly-Hellen Hitchcock won the award for Outstanding Contribution to Student Affairs. Kelly-Hellen Hitchcock and Laura Thomas were both on the Student Leadership Programme in 2017.
Two of the #150Leaders have also been nominated for RCNi awards in the Andrew Parker Student Nurse category. Katie Dutton has actively been raising awareness of sepsis after recovering from the life-threatening condition herself. Raluca Vagner has co-created an online platform bringing together information on all phases of the non-trauma amputation pathway for patients and clinicians. Winners will be announced on 4 July.
