Student Awards - in brief

The Ted Adams Trust is committed to advancing nursing and midwifery education in the Guildford area.

The Ted Adams Trust makes awards to promote and recognise clinical excellence for final year students of the Diplomas in Higher Education for Nursing Studies and Midwifery Studies at the University of Surrey in Guildford. Students are selected for their consistently outstanding performance in practice. Potential winners are nominated by their mentors in clinical practice placements and assessed on key aspects of performance that exemplify clinical excellence. Awards are determined by a panel chaired by a Professor of Nursing.

The awards are:

Nursing Studies:

• £500 to the overall winner in all branches

• £250 for the winner in each of the following branches:

- Children’s nursing
- Mental Health nursing
- Adult Nursing: 2 awards will be made in view of the larger number of students in this branch.

Midwifery Studies:

• £250 [2010 last year for this award as Diploma].

The awards will be presented at the University’s Annual award ceremony.
