The CNO Excellence Award is given to those within the midwifery and nursing workforce who go above and beyond their daily duties to provide excellent care, leadership, and inspiration.
Sharon Daniel, Director of Nursing, Quality and Patient Experience, said:
“On behalf of the Health Board, I congratulate Angharad on this prestigious award and thank her for all she has done and continues to do in improving patient care and services within radiology.”
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:
“I am incredibly grateful to be recognised for the work I have done, and will continue to work on radiology service improvements, alongside my radiology colleagues.”
Sarah Procter, Deputy Head of Radiology at the Health Board said:
“I am delighted that Angharad has received this award. She exemplifies the qualities of an exceptional nursing leader, and I am proud she has been recognised for all the work she has done for our patients, staff, and the radiology service.”
