The Unite-CPHVA Excellence Awards 2024 offer you the chance to have your outstanding work recognised. Submit your entry today!
Good news alert: the deadline for award entries has been extended to give you more time to compile and send in your submission. The Unite-CPHVA Excellence Awards are about recognising outstanding work in health visiting, school nursing, community nursery nursing, and all community practice during the last 18 months. So the more people who have the chance to enter, the better!
The aim is to celebrate innovation and best practice across the CP professions. Winners (and runner ups) will receive their awards on the first evening of the Unite-CPHVA Annual Professional Conference, at a special ceremony. All (two-day) conference delegates will be able to attend the celebratory ceremony on Wednesday 6 November, complete with dinner buffet and the opportunity to network and raise your profile. Why miss the chance? See how to enter, below, and good luck!
