“We started these awards to acknowledge the invaluable contribution that they make for our patients and to give credit to the vast array of talent and skills within our brilliant primary care nursing workforce.
“The number of nominations we received is testament to how valued the primary care nurse workforce is.
“I know the judging panel had a really difficult decision when picking the winners and to me, every single nomination was a winner.”
