Nurses from across NHS Golden Jubilee came together yesterday for our first-ever Nursing Conference, celebrating innovation, excellence and the vital role nursing teams play in delivering outstanding patient care.
The Elevation and Transformation in Nursing Conference showcased examples of best practice from across the organisation, highlighting how nurses are driving improvements in care while maintaining a strong focus on compassionate, person-centred treatment for patients from across Scotland.
The event featured a keynote address from Scotland's Chief Nursing Officer, Professor Aisha Holloway, who shared her vision for the future of nursing and the profession's continuing impact on healthcare across Scotland.
A special moment during the conference also saw Chief Executive, Carolynne O'Connor, pay tribute to Director of Nursing, Anne Marie Cavanagh, in recognition of her more than 40 years of dedicated service to the NHS as she prepares for retirement.
Bringing colleagues together to share learning, celebrate achievements and inspire new ideas, the conference marked an important milestone for nursing at NHS Golden Jubilee and demonstrated the expertise, professionalism and commitment that continues to shape exceptional patient care.
