Help the Heroes - nominate your Nurse of the Year

Recruitment specialist, Reed Nurse, has this year launched its inaugural Nurse of the Year awards to recognise the hard work of nurses across the country and to raise funds for Help for Heroes.

The Nurse of the Year campaign seeks to showcase and reward outstanding nurses who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, and is open to all qualified nurses with five years or more experience, of all grades and specialties.

Craig Schlebusch, divisional manager at Reed Nurse, said: “We want to reward those who put in that bit of extra effort to help make their patients’ lives easier. If you know an outstanding nurse who demonstrates excellence and commitment in their job, why not nominate them? It could be a colleague, a relative, a friend, a manager or even you.

“Entering is really easy, just go to www.reednurseoftheyear.co.uk and complete the entry form before 29 July 2011. The entries will then be whittled down to 25 finalists who will be invited to a luxury afternoon tea at prestigious London hotel The Ritz. There, the overall winner will be announced and awarded with £1000 holiday vouchers.

“We’ve also partnered with Help for Heroes to help raise funds for them through the award scheme. For every nomination we receive we are donating the value of half an hour of nursing time and are planning to donate a minimum of £10,000.”
