The Outstanding Service Award is awarded to nurses who provide exceptional care to their patients and demonstrate a continuing passion and enthusiasm for nursing which advances community nursing.

- A minimum of 10 years’ service in community nursing
- Able to demonstrate a continuing commitment to the principles of excellent nursing care to the benefit of patients
- Able to demonstrate an outstanding contribution to both patients and the profession over and above the normal call of duty
The next closing date will be in February 2013, and will be advertised during autumn 2012.
