Congratulating the team, Dawn Ferguson, Interim Assistant Director for Nursing and Midwifery Workforce and Education said: “We are fully committed to supporting and developing our staff.

“I would like to pay tribute to both the Practice Education Team and also broader clinical teams across our organisation who are dedicated to supporting the development of new colleagues as they start out on their careers.”

Overall winners will be announced in December 2020.
