SA Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards

The South Australian Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards (Awards) recognise and acknowledge the significant contribution that nurses and midwives make to their professions and the wider community through their practice.

The Awards are firmly focused on recognising excellence in practice of all nurses and midwives and the significant contribution they make to their professions, their teams and to the community through their practice, leadership and research endeavours. The Awards are open to all Nurses and Midwives practicing in South Australia.

The awards event was held Friday 11th May at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, on the eve of International Nurses Day, with approximately 450 people celebrating the achievements of nurses and midwives across the state. It is with absolute joy that we celebrate the fantastic achievement of our Enrolled Nurse, Kylie Booth, who won the 2018 Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Award for Enrolled Nursing – South Australia. Kylie is truly deserving of this award. Her practice and the passionate nurse she is speaks unquestionably to this achievement. Congratulations Kylie!

Awards such as this reinforce the quality of our employees. Chief Operating Officer, Kellie Whelan, says “Nathan (Chief Executive Officer) and I are humbled that an organisation of our size is able to mentor, develop and advance it’s staff in many different and unique ways. This ability allows us to attract and retain the quality of staff we do, which further enhances the quality of life of our residents”.

International Nurse Day

While we recognise the many contributions that nurses make to our society, we also wish to celebrate all those who work alongside our nurses. Without each member of the team playing their part, we could not deliver the holistic care that we strive to provide to our residents. So in honour of International Nurses Day, we want to thank all of our staff for the work they do in providing or supporting the nursing and care profession.
