The Prince will meet the more than 120 nurses and healthcare leaders who are up for an award ahead of the ceremony later that evening. By hosting the reception, The Prince will recognise the Nursing Times Award nominees as examples of the best of British nursing.
Jenni Middleton, Editor, Nursing Times, said: “It shows the significance of the profession and indeed these awards that recognise the achievements of nurses that HRH The Prince of Wales wants to meet these finalists and congratulate them personally at his home. Everyone at Nursing Times is delighted to have his support and we are so pleased to be able to showcase the skills, expertise, hard work and passion of the nurses that we have in our shortlists to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. He has been very interested in finding out more about their work and really appreciates the huge contribution these nurses make to patient care and the health service. Congratulations to them all!”
The Nursing Times Awards, to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London, are the most prestigious and coveted awards for the nursing profession, says Emap, bringing together the best of the industry for a glittering evening of recognition, celebration and networking. With 19 categories, the awards cover a wide range of achievements within the health sector.
