DUBBO MP Troy Grant joined NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner to mark International Nurses Day on Monday, by thanking the state’s 47,500 nurses and midwives for their dedication, skill and compassion.
Ms Skinner chose the day to announce the establishment of the inaugural NSW Health Awards for Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery, which was welcomed by Mr Grant whose mother spent many years as a nurse.
There will be nine categories for community members, patients, colleagues and professionals to nominate nurses deserving of the award.
Nominations will open online http://www.health.nsw.gov.au on Monday, June 3.
