That the Parliament congratulates Ryan Bell, from Edinburgh, who is team lead at the Midlothian older adults mental health and dementia team for NHS Lothian, on being awarded the Queen’s Nurse award; understands that the award is given to nurses from across Scotland who have completed the Queen’s Nurse Institute Scotland’s (QNIS) nine-month development programme; notes that the programme requires participants to choose an issue for development that will have a positive impact on those that they care for, with a key focus on equity and inclusion; believes that this recognition is a reflection of Ryan’s commitment to bettering the experience of those he cares for, ensuring that they are treated with dignity and respect; commends him for his dedication and effort in demonstrating what it sees as strong leadership, and wishes him the best in his future endeavours.
