Former Student at University of Dundee
(Now working as a newly qualified Community Staff Nurse in Forfar)

Grant, a newly qualified Community Nurse at Academy Medical Centre, Forfar, is celebrated for his extraordinary resilience, compassion, and commitment. He made a bold career change to pursue nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic, while caring for his disabled parents. As a student, Grant stood out for his academic excellence, and dedication in clinical placements, leading to him securing a competitive Erasmus+ scholarship to Lithuania. He later supported other students in international exchanges. Despite profound personal losses during his studies, Grant focussed on his education and placements, receiving glowing feedback and completing his degree with merit. Grant also works on the Tayside Nurse Bank, quickly gaining recognition as skilled and compassionate nurse. He teaches wound care and compression to nursing students and has been nominated to the Area Nursing and Midwifery Advisory Committee. His nominator praises Grant for exemplifying courage, empathy, and excellence.

Former Nursing Student
Robert Gordon University

Throughout her studies, Chole aimed to support her nursing student colleagues and the future nursing workforce through various platforms such as a nursing podcast, a nursing blog, and a new project called SUNN (Support and Understanding for Neurodivergent Nurses). A neurodivergent student nurse herself, Chloe challenged discrimination and misunderstanding faced by neurodivergent nurses in practice, founding SUNN to provide support and understanding for neurodivergent nurses. The initiative aims to improve the nursing profession by creating a more inclusive environment and enhancing patient care. She plans to disseminate her initiative through her podcast and blog, aiming to bring about meaningful change in the nursing profession. Her nominators credit the support she provided in helping them to overcome many challenges with their learning and wellbeing.

Former Student (Now working as Staff Nurse), The Open University

Described by her practice assessor as an inspirational role model, Lois studies nursing on her home island of Shetland through the Open University. She was inspired to become a nurse after working as a health care support worker. Showing initiative from the outset, when her assessor suggested learning atrial fibrillation on her next shift, she turned up having prepared a research piece detailing not only the workings and electrical activity of the heart but how to read an ECG. She was nominated for the Student Leadership Programme run by the Council of Deans, and now regularly supports other students virtually to change mind sets from ‘What if I fall?’ to ‘What if I fly?’. With a keen interest in neurology and recognising the limitations of opportunities on a small island, Lois applied for funding to travel to Glasgow for a placement and has already brought back her learning to her rural setting. Lois joined her NHS board Chief Executive to present a livestream on student nursing in remote and rural areas to encourage others to take up nursing as a career and has been supporting colleagues through her role on the Nurse Workforce Wellbeing Group of NES. Her aim is to connect students and create support hubs which look after both academic and emotional needs. Back on the ward, Lois is championing patient movement to reduce lengthy hospital stays and also recently produced a toolkit on respiratory care which is already being applauded as a valuable teaching resource for the whole team.
