The fellowships were awarded at the RCN annual Congress in Liverpool on Sunday May 19 and are given to individuals who have ‘made an exceptional commitment to advancing the science and practice of nursing and the improvement of health care’. Only a small number of Fellows and Honorary Fellows are elected each year.

Clare has been the practice development sister in cancer services at WPH since 1999 and is currently seconded to work with the Weston Park Cancer Centre cancer strategy team as the senior project nurse.

Clare said: “I feel absolutely delighted to be recognised by my profession with one of their highest level awards. I am really proud to be part of a nursing team that works so hard to do the best for our patients.”

Dr Iain Armstrong works as a nurse consultant within the Sheffield Pulmonary Vascular Disease Unit, a specialist pulmonary hypertension service based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
