Adult Nursing student shortlisted for two Student Nursing Times Awards

Katy Sutherland, a final year Postgraduate Diploma Adult Nursing student in the Faculty, has been shortlisted for two Student Nursing Times Awards, for Student Innovation in Practice, and Student Nurse of the Year: Adult.

The awards recognise the cream of the crop amongst the student nursing community, and have been running for the past four years.

Katy said:

"I couldn't quite believe it when I saw not one, but two emails saying that I had been shortlisted for the Student Nursing Times Awards. It's an incredible feeling to have been recognised in such prestigious categories. " 

Anne Pegram from the Faculty’s Adult Nursing Department said:

‘It is fantastic news that one of our Postgraduate Diploma students has been short listed for The Nursing Times awards.

Katy has designed a resource for student nurses centred around end of life care.  It is a great achievement for Katy to be short listed for this award.’

Katy is also a co-founder of The Student Nurse Project, an online student-led initiative that aims to support and encourage fellow student nurses to explore questions they have about professional practice, studying or nursing in general.

The Awards take place on Thursday 26 April, and the Faculty has their fingers crossed for Katy.
