REWARDING EXCELLENCE FoNS Awards FoNS has always been keen to acknowledge and raise the profile of the excellent work that nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses do in practice and the innovative ways in which they achieve high quality care. Rewarding excellence is simply, but most importantly about recognising and rewarding practitioners who demonstrate achievement and/or excellence in developing practice. It also ensures that innovations in practice that improve healthcare are shared more widely and that the profile of practice-based development, research and evaluation is raised. FoNS has an ongoing awards programme which runs every two years covering four categories: • The Mallabar Awards : for nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses who have developed good practice initiatives that have improved patient care. Funded by FoNS• The Richard Tompkins Award for Nurse-Led Care : for nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses who have developed nurse-led initiatives that improve the accessibility and responsiveness of services for patients. Funded by the Tompkins Foundation • Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund (BHSF) Award for User Involvement in Care : for nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses who have worked in partnership with patients, carers or other users to develop practice initiatives. Funded by BHSF • The Elsevier Award for the Evaluation of Healthcare Practice : for nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses who have undertaken a project that demonstrates how developments in healthcare practice can be evaluated.
