Pinderfields nurse recognised with prestigious national nursing award after 38 years

A Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust nurse, who has dedicated 38 years to supporting patients and colleagues, has been recognised with a prestigious national award.

Jayne Greenhough, who works across Pinderfields and Dewsbury hospitals, has received a Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) Award for Commitment to Quality of Care.

The awards, run by NHS England, recognise the significant contribution made by nurses and midwives across England, as well as healthcare and maternity support workers who “consistently demonstrate” NHS values in their everyday roles.

Jayne, whose career at the Trust spans almost four decades, plays an important role in helping Band 2 and Band 3 colleagues develop the skills and confidence they need to provide safe, compassionate care.

Feedback from learners has praised Jayne for going “above and beyond” and for the support she provides.

Talib Yaseen, chief nursing officer at Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, said: “Jayne plays an important role in supporting our workforce and developing the next generation of NHS colleagues, helping them build the skills and confidence to provide the best possible care for our patients.

"We’re delighted to see her work recognised at a national level.”

The award was presented to Jayne by colleagues from NHS England.
