Nursing Times awards
The Nursing Times awards exist to ensure that individual nurses or teams are both recognised and rewarded for work that raises the standard of nursing practice and health care in the UK. The Awards also raise the profile of the profession, highlighting the quality of work being undertaken by nurses in all specialties and settings.
Entrants must be qualified nurses, midwives or health visitors and registered to practise in the UK. The project must be their own work. The work described must be current or completed (proposals for a new piece of work will not be considered). All entries must be submitted online and individuals or teams may apply, although individual criteria apply for each award
