Kirriemuir based nurse wins RCN Scotland Care Home Nursing Award

This award aims to recognise the impact and importance of nursing in social care and those who have made an outstanding contribution to care and quality of life for residents in a care home. 

Robyn's commitment to person-centred care is evident in her empathetic approach and focus on creating a positive environment for residents. She not only excels in clinical care but also demonstrates strong leadership qualities, collaborating with the Balhousie Care Group Operations Team to enhance services and promote staff development. Robyn's positive impact on residents, families and colleagues is recognised, and she maintains a credible evidence base for care provision through continuous improvement and adherence to standards.

Additionally, her involvement in local and national policy initiatives showcases her commitment to broader health care strategies. Robyn's contributions are measurable through positive feedback and trust from the community, and her journey from carer to clinical lead serves as an inspiring example for the nursing profession. 

Commenting on Robyn’s award win, Colin Poolman, RCN Scotland Executive Director said: “With increasing clinical need, the impact and importance of nursing in social care, to ensure residents receive high quality, safe care, should never be underestimated.  I am proud to congratulate Robyn on her award. She truly embodies not only the skills and competencies required, but the passion for caring for her residents”.
