Sponsorship opportunities

Following on from the success of our inaugural awards in 2023, the Royal College of Nursing in Scotland is delighted to be holding our next Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards in May 2024.

The awards are designed to raise the profile of nursing, to recognise, highlight, and celebrate the dedication and outstanding professional care of nursing staff across Scotland.

The RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards ceremony is a fantastic evening celebrating our nursing, midwifery, and health and care colleagues, promoting the achievements of all of our finalists and commending the contribution that nursing makes to the health and wellbeing of the people of Scotland.

Sponsoring the RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards is a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the role that nursing plays in the health and wellbeing of our country.

The Awards will provide sponsors with the opportunity to connect and develop lasting relationships with today’s and future nursing leaders and discover the diversity of the profession.
