The 10th BJN Awards took place at the beautiful Landmark Hotel in London on Friday 30th March and were the most successful to date.
In recognition of outstanding nursing achievement, the BJN Awards is a prestigious event in the nursing calendar. Close to 300 guests flocked to the Landmark and were joined by 'Duffy' from Casualty (BBC One) and Ian Peate, Editor in Chief of BJN, who co-hosted the event together, as well as 11 sponsors from various companies. The awards boasted a whopping 17 categories this year, including tissue viability, oncology nursing and rheumatology. The lead up to the event saw the highest number of nominations ever to be submitted at an incredibly high standard.
The final and most prestigious award of the night, Lifetime Achievement, was presented to England's Chief Nursing Officer, Dame Christine Beasley, for her immense leadership and contribution to nursing. Delighted to receive the Award, she described it as the perfect way to draw her illustrious career to a close.
