Trudi Critchell is now Queen’s Nurse
Sunday 12 May is Nurses’ Day and to mark this Trudi, who works in Dorset HealthCare’s Purbeck district nursing team, has become a Queen’s Nurse.
A community nurse, who started her career at Poole Hospital 24 years ago, has been given the title of Queen’s Nurse, marking Nurses’ Day on Sunday 12 May.
Trudi Critchell now works in Dorset HealthCare’s Purbeck district nursing team.
She joined Dorset HealthCare 14 years ago and has worked in various roles including nurse, ward sister and ward manager at the Trust’s community hospitals before becoming team lead for district nursing.
For the last five years she has been working as a community nurse at the Wellbridge Practice in Wool, and also as part of the Trust’s urgent care service.
Trudi, who collected her award at a ceremony in London, said: “I feel extremely proud and honoured, and also privileged to be part of this professional network.
“The Queen’s Nurse title is a formal recognition of my commitment to promoting outstanding care in the community, and sharing knowledge and best practice.”
Dawn Dawson, chief nursing officer at Dorset HealthCare, said: “We are really proud of Trudi. The Queen’s Nurse Award reflects her dedication and commitment to providing the best level of care possible for our patients.
“At the same time, I’d like to thank all of our nurses for what they do. Whatever the setting, wherever the location, whomever the patient, the one thing all nursing staff have in common is their unwavering commitment to make a difference to people’s lives. Not just their patients, but their patients’ families and loved ones too.”
