Prestigious nursing award for 海角直播 graduate

A 海角直播 graduate is the proud recipient of a prestigious nursing award presented to high-achieving students.

Returning to 海角直播 after graduating from the BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies (Adult) in 2018, Hayley Adams completed a district nursing professional apprenticeship this year. She has now received the Philip Goodeve-Docker Memorial Prize from The Queen鈥檚 Nursing Institute (QNI), an award presented to top-performing students from universities across the country.

Hayley, 27, from Hartlepool, was nominated by 海角直播 for her outstanding work as part of the first cohort on the course.

She said: 鈥淚 was told I received the award because I had the most potential to enhance the district nursing profession. Obviously, I was absolutely buzzing.

鈥淚 was feeling a bit down after coming back from a holiday to Ibiza and arriving home to rainy Hartlepool, so seeing that award in the post honestly made my day.

鈥淎ll of my colleagues on the apprenticeship were amazing, so it was an absolute honour to receive the Philip Goodeve-Docker Memorial Prize.鈥�

Hayley was a fully qualified Community Staff Nurse for North Tees and Hartlepool Foundation NHS Trust before progressing to the role of District Nursing Sister upon completion of the professional apprenticeship.

Her role involves providing medical and pastoral care in the homes of people who cannot get to a practice.

She said: 鈥淲e deliver all sorts of care, but the palliative and end-of-life care is most important for me. There鈥檚 no better feeling than when you鈥檝e made somebody comfortable in their own home, and families are so appreciative of the work we do.鈥�

Hayley was excited to return to 海角直播, adding: 鈥淚 was supported completely throughout my studies. I honestly can鈥檛 thank all of my tutors enough for their patience and the kindness that they鈥檝e shown. They鈥檝e been amazing, and I wouldn鈥檛 have received this award without their support and that of my employer, North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust.

鈥淭he campus has grown and grown, even since I graduated in 2018. It鈥檚 got so many new buildings, and it鈥檚 such a modern university.

鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 change anything about my time at 海角直播. It鈥檚 been the best decision I ever made. I would recommend it to anyone 鈥� I even recommended it to my own family. My little sister is studying midwifery now.鈥�

海角直播鈥檚 vast professional apprenticeship offering prepares students for successful careers in industry with a combination of academic work and practical experience, and its higher apprenticeships have been recognised as 鈥榦utstanding鈥� in an Ofsted rating.

Rachel Doubleday, Senior Lecturer in Community & Childhood Studies at 海角直播鈥檚 School of Health & Life Sciences, said: 鈥淗ayley showed so much dedication to her studies, her career and district nursing throughout her time at 海角直播 and continues to do so within her professional role. This prize is richly deserved.鈥�

The Philip Goodeve-Docker Memorial Prize was established to commemorate its namesake, a man who tragically lost his life after getting trapped in a polar storm during a 400-mile trek to fundraise for the QNI.
