RCN Nursing Awards 2023

Dear CHAIN member,

We would like to draw your attention to the following opportunity. 

Please pass on as appropriate. Thank you.

RCN Nursing Awards 2023

The RCN Nursing Awards invites nurses, students and nursing support workers to share their innovations and expertise and celebrate their contribution to improving care and outcomes for their patients.

Entries are open to individuals and teams in 15 categories covering the diversity of nursing.

The awards will be judged by an expert judging panel chaired by Foundation of Nursing Studies Chief Executive Joanne Bosanquet.

Alongside nominations from colleagues and individuals, the Patient’s Choice category will give the public an opportunity to nominate a nurse or nursing support worker who has made a difference to their lives. The winner will be decided by public vote.

The awards are open to nurses, midwives and health visitors registered to practise in the UK and the Channel Islands, as well as nursing students, nursing support workers and nursing associates.

The deadline for entries is 28 April.

"NHS to pilot smart goggles to free up time for community nurses"

c/o Digital Health:

"The NHS is to trial the use of smart goggles that will be worn by community nurses on home visits in order to free up time with patients.

Providing that the patient consents, the virtual reality style headset can transcribe the appointment directly to electronic records, reducing time-consuming admin for nurses.

Staff will have the ability to share live footage directly with hospital colleagues to get a second opinion, avoiding the need for further appointments or hospital admission."

Special appeal: for former (current) users of Hodges' model - Isle of Man

It appears there have been two visitors to W2tQ from the Isle of Man. Over the years there have been many such hits on the website. Nursing staff on the Isle of Man did use the Hodges' model many years ago. A former colleague and manager worked there for a time, and there were students who attended the then Manchester Polytechnic and were taught the model on nursing courses - CPN Cert in Community Psychiatric Nursing.


If anyone there (or any other Isle - worldwide) is reading this - please get in touch; it would be great to hear from you of your experience, and possibly feature your thoughts and insights here.

Thanks and best regards,
Peter J.
