About this category
This award recognises a nurse or midwife in any setting whose care, advocacy and leadership stand out. Judges look for quality of care, patient experience and the contribution the entrant makes to their team and profession.

Additional criteria
Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, feedback from patients, service users, families or colleagues. Never include information that could identify a patient or service user: describe cases in anonymised terms and give figures as percentages or ranges. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the service, team or organisation, so smaller providers compete on equal terms.
