RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards

The Royal College of Nursing in Scotland is delighted to be holding its Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards in June 2025.

The awards are designed to raise the profile of nursing, to recognise, highlight, and celebrate the dedication and outstanding professional care of nursing staff across Scotland.

The RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards ceremony is a fantastic evening celebrating our nursing, midwifery, and health and care colleagues, promoting the achievements of all of our finalists and commending the contribution that nursing makes to the health and wellbeing of the people of Scotland.
