Nurses and awards

Very often, too often, nurses rarely consciously acknowledge the profound impact that the care they offer has on both patients and their families. The BJN sees this. The BJN Awards see and recognise this.

Each year, the BJN Awards honour outstanding care and innovation. Our esteemed annual event, held this year on 24 March, was at the illustrious Banking Hall in London and was a wonderful success. The evening was dedicated to recognising and applauding the hard work and unwavering commitment of nursing teams and acknowledging the significant impact they have made on the lives of patients, on all of us. The Awards acknowledge what it means to be responsive to the highly changing needs of those who are very often vulnerable and distressed.

The experiences of talented nurses across the UK are shared and celebrated, depicting creative, dynamic and innovative nurse-led activity in different fields. Our Awards showcase nurses and nursing practice, enabling us to share with everyone the amazing achievements of nurse colleagues who practise in diverse care settings, working with diverse patient groups, across the life span.
