Home Instead team member awarded Queen’s Nurse accolade
The Queen’s Nursing Institute Annual Awards Ceremony celebrates high-achieving nurses who have demonstrated commitment to high standards of practice and person-centred care.
Becoming a Queen’s Nurse, Michelle has been recognised for developing Home Instead’s ‘healthcare at home’ service, supporting franchise offices as they deliver complex care in the community. Hosted at the Millenium Gloucester Hotel in London, the awards were attended by many people including trustees and fellows from the QNI and representatives from the Department of Health and Social Care.
Vice President of the QNI, Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, presented Michelle with her certificate. Dame Elizabeth has received many accolades, in particular for being the UK’s first sickle cell nurse.
Michelle says: “What an honour to become a Queen’s Nurse: an accolade held by people who have made a significant difference to their communities. I was blown away by the other winners and the achievements they have made.
“There’s no doubt that the home care sector is changing for the better. Healthcare needs will increasingly be met at home and delivered by the person delivering other aspects of care. It’s exciting seeing Home Instead lead the way with this.”
