Dear Mrs R Moore
Put Scottish Government Health Directorates in the limelight!
It is my pleasure to introduce the National Award for Nurses "Pioneers of Care".
The award supported by Welch Allyn is designed to recognise trailblazing nurses who have advanced
frontline care. We are seeking Nurses who have gone out of their way to work effectively, efficiently and
empathetically with their patients and have introduced new techniques to solve problems and help
improve lives.
A prestigious judging panel has been assembled consisting of health joumalists Lucy Elkins from the
Daily Mail, Liz Hollis from the Times along with Professor Steve Ersser, Dean and Professor of Nursing
and Dermatology Care at the Faculty of Health and Social Care, University of Hull. Together they will
judge the entries to decide who will win this coveted award.
Supporting safe, effective, person centred care, through the use of care pathways hosted by the Scottish Pathways Association (SPA) and the European Pathway Association (E-P-A).
The Scottish Pathways Association is an established group of NHS and partner agencies from Scotland who support those developing, implementing and evaluating the use of care pathways in different clinical areas. SPA is affiliated to the E-P-A, who have over 1000 members in 59 countries. This has all happened following the initial concept of an E-P-A, suggested at the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQUA) 2003 conference in Dallas.
