Congratulations our very own Trust star Jude Rose – who won Nurse Leader of the Year at the prestigious Nursing Times Awards this week.
Jude, a Community Nurse and Psychological Parenting Therapist, was nominated for the award for her commitment to providing patient/carer-centred care and for supporting and developing staff.
“It’s a proud moment both personally, but also for my team and the Trust,” she said. “I’m grateful to be within a system that supports innovation and evidence-based treatments with great outcomes.”
Prestigious award ceremony
Jude travelled to London for the award ceremony, which was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, and after her win the Nursing Times published a statement praising her work:
“Jude is an outstanding clinical lead and role model. She inspires staff to think creatively and aim high. When it comes to patients and carers, she makes sure their voices are heard and they are empowered by their contact with services.
“As testament to this, she set up a patient participation group that led to key issues being raised and addressed – and supported parents to deliver presentations to NHS England. Jude leads change at all levels, from staff support and strategic change to work with individual families.
“Through her inspirational leadership, compassion, commitment and skill, she has had an invaluable impact on the lives of many patients, carers and staff.”
Congratulations to all
Jude celebrated her win last night with colleague Tarni Morris, who nominated her for the award, as well as TEWV’s Nursing Research Team – who were finalists in the Nursing Research category.
Chief Executive Brent Kilmurray said: “Many congratulations to Jude. This is a prestigious award and recognition of dedication and hard work and great leadership.”
