The Chief Nursing Officer for England, Dame Ruth May, has announced the launch of awards to recognise the contribution that our excellent healthcare support workers (HCSWs) and maternity support workers (MSWs) make to patients and to their nursing and midwifery colleagues.
As we will all know, HCSWs and MSWs are at the heart of our clinical settings and local communities and make a real difference to the lives of their patients and colleagues every day.
Please consider nominating your colleagues who have consistently embodied the NHS values every day, in all that they do, for national recognition, but also to think about how you can recognise the contribution they make to our organisation every day.
The awards extend the existing CNO and CMidO Award schemes that recognise nurses and midwives by giving an opportunity to recognise the importance of our HCSWs and MSWs at a national level.
All information including nomination criteria, process and forms are available on the NHS England website. If you have any questions about the awards, nominations etc. please contact the nursing workforce inbox: england
