  • Teaching Innovation of the Year - The Living Lab

  • Partnership of the Year - The University’s Patient, Carer and Public Involvement partnership (PCPI) led by Dr Lesley Scott

  • Educator of the Year - Dr Catherine Hayes

The University was praised and congratulated in a confirmation letter from the awards organisers, which said: “The judges had a tough job scoring and have commended the high quality of entries – to be shortlisted is a fantastic achievement!”

Organisers also said the University should be very proud that it had been shortlisted across such a broad variety of categories.

Winners will be announced on 27 April in London at a ceremony paying tribute to the students who have demonstrated the academic achievement, clinical prowess and personal qualities that will make them brilliant nurses as well as recognising and rewarding outstanding educational establishments and honouring those who are committed to developing new nursing talent.
