Richard Macey has won the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Student Nurse Award for Excellence.
The second-year BSc Adult Nursing student was nominated by his colleagues in recognition of the care, dedication and compassion he brings to his work.
Announced on International Nurses’ Day – a day to reflect on the vital work nurses do every day across all healthcare settings – the accolade highlights Richard’s commitment to providing the best care for patients.
Having previously worked in social care, supporting adults with learning disabilities, Richard’s path into nursing began when he became a healthcare assistant in Cardiology. After gaining clinical experience and being encouraged by a family member, Richard joined the University’s School of Health and Social Care as a mature student to pursue a career in nursing.
