Mediclinic Highveld thanks nurses
“Mediclinic’s Nursing Excellence Award holds special significance because nominations are made by nursing peers for those who embody these values and ensure the best possible patient experience” says Ms Estelle Coustas, Nursing Executive, Mediclinic Southern Africa.
SECUNDA – Ms Agnes Mashaba, enrolled nurse, received Mediclinic Highveld’s Nursing Excellence Award during the clinic’s celebration of International Nurses Day on 12 May.
Ms Estelle Coustas, Nursing Executive, Mediclinic Southern Africa, said Mediclinic believes that the role of nurses does not stop when they leave work.
“They continue to show the same care and attention to their families and those in their communities as they do during their working hours.
“We highlight the role of our nurses on International Nurses Day, a day chosen as a global tribute to the profession that coincides with Florence Nightingale’s birthday.
“Mediclinic recognises the nurses who work tirelessly, care selflessly and exhibit the same dedication to patients that they do for their own families.
“Mediclinic’s Nursing Excellence Award holds special significance, because nominations are made by nursing peers for those who embody these values and ensure the best possible patient experience,” said Ms Coustas.
“While not everyone can receive an award, I would like to extend my personal thanks to each nurse for making Mediclinic the world-class hospital organisation that it is.
“The amount that our nurses do and how they do it, makes all the difference to their colleagues and patients,” Ms Coustas concluded.
