A Lancaster nurse has been given a prestigious title by a top nursing charity in recognition of her work caring for patients in the community.
Lizzie Holmes from Lancaster Medical Practice has been awarded the title of Queen’s Nurse by the Queen’s Nursing Institute.
This recognises nurses who demonstrate a high level of commitment to patient care, continuous learning, and leadership within the nursing profession.
The Queen’s Nurse title is awarded to registered nurses with over five years of experience who have successfully undergone a rigorous application and assessment process.
Candidates must showcase their expertise, dedication, and contribution to the field of nursing to be considered for this honor.
"Receiving the Queen’s Nurse title is a true honour," said Lizzie, a practice nurse at Lancaster Medical Practice.
"It inspires me to continue striving for excellence in patient care and to make a positive difference in our community."
Amy Williams, managing partner at Lancaster Medical Practice, said: "Lizzie's recognition as a Queen’s Nurse is a testament to her professionalism, hard work, and dedication.
"Not all applicants receive this title, which highlights the significance of her accomplishment. We are incredibly proud to have her as part of our team."
Lizzie will be formally honoured at an awards ceremony in London this November, joining other distinguished nurses from across the country.
Lancaster Medical Practice has surgeries at Dalton Square, Galgate, Meadowside, King Street, Owen Road, Rosebank, Scale Hall and Lancaster University.
