Brechin Health Centre Practice Nurse Receives Scotland’s People’s Choice Award

  • Submitted by: Tess White, North East Scotland, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 20 June 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-13725

That the Parliament congratulates Brechin Health Centre practice nurse, Denise Harrison, on receiving Scotland’s People’s Choice Award at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland Nurse of the Year Awards 2024; understands that the award gives the public the opportunity to thank a nurse, midwife or nursing support worker who made a difference to their, or a loved one’s, care; further understands that Denise was nominated for her exceptional dedication during 2023’s devastating Storm Babet in Brechin, where she worked tirelessly to provide medical care to displaced patients, assisted patients who had to evacuate their homes, provided care in hotels, and organised support services such as laundering clothes, and that she has been running a bereavement cafe for those struggling with loss over the past 18 months; recognises that Denise stood out for going the extra mile, showing great empathy and commitment to her patients, and wishes her all the very best as she celebrates her People’s Choice Award.
