Angharad was presented with this accolade at the recent conference held in Cardiff for her work as lead Radiology Nurse. Since taking up the post in 2023, Angharad has successfully arranged for radiology departments to be recognised as placements for student nurses, playing a pivotal role in the development of key clinical pathways and protocols.

This has included the diagnostic coronary angiograms pathway and the standard operating procedure for temporary pacemakers. She has also developed a pilot for a standardised approach to nursing documentation through the introduction of the radiology nurse record.

Speaking after receiving the award, Angharad said:
