Inspiring UWL students up for national nursing awards

Introduction

Inspiring nursing and midwifery students from the University of West London (UWL) are in the running to be crowned best in the country in this year’s Student Nursing Times Awards.

A total of six trainee healthcare professionals have been shortlisted across six categories in recognition of their attitudes and commitment to their courses, patients, and fellow students.

The annual awards bring together the nursing community to shine a light on the brightest talent making their way into the profession, highlighting excellence in education across all specialties of nursing and those who go above and beyond during their training.

The University’s immersive learning and teaching theatre event has also been nominated for Teaching Innovation of the Year after helping to create a memorable simulation environment for second and third year nursing and midwifery students.
