Queen's Nursing Award for caring Wokingham community nurse
A Wokingham health professional has received royal recognition for her skills, experience and devotion to her duties in the Wokingham Borough.
PCT nurse Mary Codling, who is a member of the Wokingham joint community health and social care team, based at Wokingham Community Hospital and the Council’s Community Care Services, has been named a Queen’s Nurse by the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI).
Mary has been recognised for work specialising in people with learning disabilities. She will be presented with her award at a ceremony in London next month.
The title of Queen’s Nurse is awarded to individual nurses who have demonstrated a high level of commitment to patient-centred values and continually improving practice. Mary was short-listed following a tough selection process and assessment by a panel of healthcare professionals.
The QNI also considered her experience, leadership skills and clinical expertise and positive feedback from colleagues and patients.
Mary said: “I am delighted that the skills and expertise I gained over the years in working with people with learning disabilities and services have been recognised and feel honoured to be awarded the title of Queen’s Nurse”.
General Wokingham manager community care Pat Brecknock said: “Mary must be congratulated on this well-deserved recognition for her contribution to supporting vulnerable people in the community. She is a real credit to our integrated Wokingham Community Team for people with learning disabilities.”
Helen MacKenzie, Wokingham area director for Berkshire West Primary Care Trust said: “This prestigious award from the Queen’s Nursing Institute is a tremendous achievement for Mary; we are very proud to have such an experienced and skilled nurse as a member of the Wokingham team.”
