Celebrating excellence in community health care: Childrenās community nurse wins national award
A newly qualified community childrenās nurse has scooped a prestigious national award which places her amongst the very best emerging nurses in her field in the country.
Fran Cedolin, a Community Childrenās Nurse who works for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Community Hospitals NHS Group, has been awarded The Dame Elizabeth Fradd Memorial Prize for Outstanding Achievement as a Community Childrenās Nurse Student.
This prestigious national award is presented annually in memory of Professor Dame Elizabeth Fradd DBE, a Fellow of the Queen's Institute of Community Nursing (QICN) and a hugely respected figure in childrenās nursing. Dame Elizabeth trained as a childrenās nurse and went on to serve in a wide range of roles including registered nurse, midwife and health visitor.
She later supported the nursing profession at a national level, becoming Deputy Chief Nursing Officer for England and Director of Nursing/Lead Director for reviews and inspections at the Commission for Health Improvement.
