Impact Awards

The annual RCN Foundation Impact Awards recognise excellence in nursing and midwifery throughout the UK. They are a celebration of the exceptional work undertaken by nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers that takes place every day throughout the UK. 

Impact Award Winners 2023

Our eight inspirational award winners for 2023 were selected from nurses, midwives, and healthcare support workers whose RCN Foundation education grants have supported them in enhancing their practice and creating an outstanding contribution to patient care throughout the UK. 

For each award winner, there are many thousands of nursing and midwifery staff who continue to provide exceptional care, day in and day out, in different settings.
