Three nurses from Northampton General Hospital received national awards from our Chief Nursing Officer, Ruth May, during a visit in July to the hospital to celebrate its reaccreditation for an internationally recognised Pathway to Excellence® nursing quality award.

Macmillan Cancer Lead Nurse Liz Summers won a rare Gold Award for her exceptional contribution to nursing through her work in cancer care – the first nurse at NGH to win a gold award. Liz was nominated for her award by Chief Executive, Heidi Smoult, Deputy Director of Nursing, Jo Smith, and Medical Director, Hemant Nemade, and received it in a surprise ceremony with Dame Ruth. Jo said: “Liz always ensures that patients with cancer and their relatives are at the centre of the service provided at Northampton General Hospital. She is a phenomenal nurse leader who fearlessly champions her patients and staff. She has established an amazing legacy of outstanding and transformation work."
