The Student Nursing Times Awards, organised by Nursing Times, is an evening that recognises nurses and midwives for their hard work, innovation, and dedication to education.
The Student Nursing Times Awards were held on 28 April in the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel. Winners were recognised in 22 categories.
Amie Stocks, an alumni of Greenwich University, won the “Learner of the Year: Post-registration” category. Amie now works at Kent Community Healthcare Trust.
Amie said:
"This award recognises the importance of nurses continuing to study and develop throughout their career.
"During my MA course at Greenwich I continued to work within my Health Visiting team full time, fitting studies in around my days off and weekends, whilst juggling family life and two children.
"I was also privileged to have learned from the inspiring Professor David Evans. He taught me that being passionate about learning can inspire others. This is something that I have taken back to the workplace and I hope that I can inspire my colleagues and future nursing students to take their studies, knowledge and desire to learn as far as they can.
"My passion to continuing my professional development has not stopped and I hope that in the near future I can continue my research about the barriers faced by Health Visitors and other Health care professionals face when talking about FGM/C through a PHD."
Steve Ford, the editor of Nursing Times, said:
“We celebrate students from all branches of the profession and from over the UK. Their innovation and achievements so early in their career already mark them out as sources of inspiration and rising stars for the future. The awards also seek to recognise the best of those who support them along the way, including the best lecturers, universities and healthcare providers.”
