| The first Norah Rees Award will be
presented on 10 October 2008 at
the Action for Sick Children conference
to be held at the University of Warwick.
For over 40 years Action for Sick Children has championed the cause of sick children, involving children, young people and their families in the planning and provision of their healthcare. Action for Sick Children wishes to celebrate the charity's part in helping to achieve high standards of service for children and to promote research and development in this field. Action for Sick Children has received a small legacy from the estate of the late Norah Rees. In order to acknowledge this gift, the charity has decided to create the Action for Sick Children Norah Rees Award for the best Master's dissertation from a nurse that furthers Action for Sick Children's aims and values.
What is the Norah Rees Award?
Action for Sick Children is offering a prize of £500 for the best Master's dissertation by a nurse.
Who is eligible?
All nurses who completed a dissertation as part of a Master's degree between June 2005 and 2008 can apply for the Norah Rees Award.
How can the award help?
The recipient of the Norah Rees Award will gain publicity for their work including the opportunity to present their study at the Action for Sick Children Annual Conference. The degree in which the Award winning dissertation is completed will also benefit from the prestige and publicity. Award winners will be able to include the Award on their C.V.s as national recognition of their work.
How will the winner be selected?
The Norah Rees Award will be presented for the best postgraduate dissertation that contributes to the Action for Sick Children Millennium Charter, incorporated into the European Association for Children in Hospital Charter.
