Celebrating five teams shortlisted in the 2026 Nursing Times Awards
Barts Health is proud to have five teams shortlisted in this year's Nursing Times Awards, recognising the innovation, leadership and compassion that continue to define nursing at Barts.
Across East London, our nurses care for communities with skill, kindness and a determination to keep improving how we work. These five nominations showcase the breadth of talent and expertise of our teams - from research and service improvements to exceptional teamwork and integrated care, our finalists are making a real difference to the patients we serve every day.
The Nursing Times Awards are one of the most respected celebrations of nursing in the UK, shining a spotlight on teams delivering outstanding care and fresh ideas. Being shortlisted places our teams among the very best in the country.
Rachael Corser, our group chief nurse said:
“Our nurses deliver exceptional care every day, and it is an amazing achievement to have this reflected in five Nursing Times Award nominations.
"This recognition highlights the compassion, dedication and leadership within our teams and the meaningful difference they make for patients, families and our communities.
"Best of luck to all our finalists!”
