A Proserpine Hospital registered nurse has been recognised for her dedication to patient care and staff training as the recipient of a Whitsunday region nursing award.
Nurse Tatum Lawrie was presented with Peta Watson Memorial Award on International Nurses Day in early May at a morning tea celebrating the contributions of nurses across the region.
The Peta Watson Memorial Award is named in honour of enrolled nurse and Home Care Coordinator Peta Watson who worked her entire career with Proserpine Hospital.
Ms Watson was known for providing exceptional patient-centred care to support her clients' independence at home.
Ms Lawrie received the award for her contributions as part of the Proserpine Hospital nursing team providing care to patients in the emergency department and across the hospital’s wards.
Director of Nursing Nicola Young said positive feedback from patients, hospital colleagues and community members supported Tatum’s nomination.
“She always goes the extra mile to support day infusion patients and trains her colleagues to ensure other nurses receive education and upskilling,” Ms Young said.
“We have a great team in Proserpine. I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by so many dedicated and caring nurses, just like Peta."
