Queen's Nurse Award for Richard Sanders

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Richard Sanders, an advanced nurse practitioner at NHS Orkney, on being awarded the prestigious title of Queen’s Nurse; understands that Richard was awarded the title on 2 December 2022 by Chief Nursing Officer Professor Alex McMahon, after being selected alongside twenty other community nurses earlier this year to take part in a nine-month development programme run by the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland (QNIS); further understands that Richard was nominated for the dedication and exceptional care that he provides to his local community in Eday and his tenacity in promoting new strategies; notes that Queen’s Nursing was established in 1889 following Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee and was reintroduced by QNIS in 2017 after a break of almost 50 years to support the development of community nursing; commends Richard on what it sees as this well-earned recognition of his skills and commitment to patients and community alike, and wishes him all the very best for the future.
