NHIVNA/Gilead Sciences HIV Nurse of the Year Award 2018
The NHIVNA/Gilead HIV Nursing Award was set up in 2007 to recognise the outstanding achievements of nurses who have made a significant or unique contribution to the care and quality of life of people with HIV.
Miss Heather Renton, East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
Heather Renton is an outstanding nurse who makes an extraordinary impact to the lives of the people in her care. A recent example of her extraordinary dedication was during the incredibly complex planning of care for one of her patients, which required coordination across a multidisciplinary and multi-agency team. This included the patient’s transfer of care across acute trusts, amongst a vast multidisciplinary team, social services, ambulance and transport services, third sector services and with the patient themselves. She communicated clear and robust emergency care planning in advance which enabled the patient’s care and emergency transfer to hospital to go seamlessly, in a situation that had the potential to be incredibly stressful for the individual. Her dedication to this patient was inspirational and she spent many hours of her own time visiting and supporting them during their hospital stay. This support was invaluable for an incredibly vulnerable individual who particularly struggles to trust healthcare practitioners; when speaking about Heather the patient said ‘She does so much for me, I don’t know where I’d be without her’. Despite the complexities and extensive challenge in this case, Heather remained calm and composed throughout, enabling the rest of the multidisciplinary team to fulfil their roles with ease and contributed to a swift discharge home from hospital. Heather helped to facilitate the birth of a healthy baby for this medically and psychiatrically complex patient who was considered to be extremely high risk from an obstetric, psychiatric and HIV point of view. It is astounding that care was delivered without any hiccups due to Heather’s meticulous planning and communication with the wider multidisciplinary team. I have no hesitation in nominating Heather for this prize. Her extraordinary pursuit of excellence and dedication to her patients is inspirational and she is thoroughly deserving of recognition for the incredible work that she does.
