RCN Awards

The RCN holds a number of awards which recognise the hard work and achievements of our members.  On this page you will find details of a number of awards:

RCN Award of Merit and RCN Fellowship

• Awards of Merit - recognises those who have provided exceptional service to the RCN over and above the important contributions already made by many activists. Recipients do not have to be nurses, but their service to the RCN must have been in a voluntary capacity.
• Fellowships - awarded to UK-registered nurses who have made an exceptional contribution to the advancement of nursing and health care as a profession.
• Honorary Fellowships - recognise individuals who are not UK-registered nurses, but have made a significant impact on nursing and/or health care.

The Representative of the Year Awards acknowledge the work undertaken by representatives on behalf of its members. There is an annual award for each type of representative, to recognise excellence in each category:

• Learning Representative of the Year.
• Safety Representative of the Year.
• Steward of the Year.
