A nurse based at the John Howard Centre in Hackney has been awarded a Margaret Parkinson Into Nursing Impact Award by the RCN Foundation.

The RCN Foundation Impact Awards are held annually to celebrate and recognise excellence in nursing and midwifery throughout the country, in particular the exceptional work undertaken throughout the healthcare system.

Fartun Ali, a staff nurse at the John Howard Centre, won the RCN Foundation’s Margaret Parkinson Into Nursing grant for her outstanding achievement in pre-registration student nursing and midwifery.

“This is something I would not have been able to achieve without the guidance from my brilliant colleagues,” she said.

Congratulations also to Dr James Cai who won the Royal College of Psychiatry ‘Foundation Doctor of the Year’ award in recognition of his proactivity in supporting QI colleagues with their Right Support, Right Time project.

Newham community children’s matron, Rebecca Daniels, at ELFT has been named in the Nursing Times’ NHS 75 impact list, one of 75 nurses and midwives to have made a significant contribution to their services.

Newham Consultant Paediatrician Dr Michelle Hays has been appointed to a Professorship at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
