A WARRINGTON-based nurse has been honoured as one of Britain’s top nurses at the annual Nursing Times Awards held at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel, London.
The coveted Chief Nursing Officer’s Award went to Nick Shaughnessy of Partnerships in Care who is lead nurse at Arbury Court in Warrington working with patients who self-harm.
Sponsored by The Territorial Army, the Award honours a nurse with significant achievements in promoting and executing the fundamentals of patient care – inspiring real confidence in the care delivered by his team.
Nick’s unique approach to working with his staff as a leader with high visibility has gained him the trust and confidence of the nursing team to look at new ways of working. His input into the women’s service has been invaluable and he has made a real positive difference for women who previously had very little hope.
Described by his team as “calm, compassionate, energetic to change and persistent”, the judges said that Nick is “Inspirational in demonstrating how small steps can make a big difference to patients’ lives and the lives of staff.”
He was presented his award by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
