Four students at the University of Worcester have been shortlisted in the annual Student Nursing Times Awards.

Swathi Suresh has been shortlisted for the Mary Seacole Award for Outstanding Contribution to Diversity and Inclusion, while Phillipa Mills, Sophie Prothero and Savannah Richards have all been shortlisted for Nursing Associate Trainee of the Year.

Robert Dudley, head of the Three Counties School of Nursing and Midwifery at the university, said he was incredibly proud of them all.

“We are thrilled to have four students shortlisted in these prestigious awards,” he said.

“It is testament to their outstanding commitment and the valuable contribution they make to the communities they serve.

“As nursing and midwifery educators, we empower our students to think critically and professionally about the challenges they face, so that they themselves can push for transformation and drive improvement in their services in the future.”

The prestigious Student Nursing Times awards pay tribute to student nurses and midwives and the programmes and people committed to providing outstanding training and education opportunities.

The winners will be announced on April 28 at a ceremony in London.
