The Award winners, pictured, were presented with their certificates by tiie Secretary of State for Health Virginia Bottomley and Mr John Robinson, Chief Executive of Smith tk Nephew pic, at a special awards luncheon in London last week. These 12 nurses were chosen from the hundreds of entries received for the Clinical Practice and Management Awards, a joint initiative between the RCN, Smith & Nephew Medical and Nursing Standard. Entrants had to read all ten articles in the Clinical Practice and Management Series which appeared in Nursing Standard, answer multiple choice questions at the end of each - then write a 1,000 word essay on how they would like to further their management skills or how the series of articles helped them in their practice. In addition to the 12 finalists over 300 nurses received a special certificate to verify they had completed the series and answered the questions correctly. This week the winners are attending an expenses paid, residential management training course at Sundridge Park Management College in Kent.
