Alcohol community nurse Jill Emmerson set up a service in GP practices to engage hard-to-reach patients who would be too embarrassed or ashamed to use conventional treatment services. The project has reduced hospital admissions and improved the health of patients. Ms Emmerson was a finalist in the Community Nursing category of the Nursing Standard Nurse Awards 2015.
A nurse-led rheumatology team has cut waiting times and improved clinical outcomes by moving a hospital-based service into the community and redesigning it to meet patients’ needs. Led by rheumatology nurse specialist Sarah Critchley, the team from Pennine MSK Partnership has replaced a reactive service with one that is systematic and holistic. The team won the Nursing Standard Community Nursing Award earlier this month.
