Two nurses from NHS Forth Valley have been awarded the prestigious title Queen’s Nurse.
Colette Fotheringham, team leader of the Children’s Community Nursing Team, and Laura McCann, Community Learning Disability Charge Nurse, were both selected to take part in a nine-month development programme run by the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland.
Colette’s nomination described her as a transformational leader for raising the profile of staff and championing a culture change within the service. It said she had gone above and beyond by integrating the paediatric day care and community children’s nursing services, supporting children to stay at home, and receive exceptional care in the community.
