While most nurses prefer to avoid the limelight, the ICN TB/MDR-TB project wants to recognise the work of some outstanding TB nurses who are role models and leaders in their field.

 

The ICN TB/MDR-TB Leading Lights initiative aims to showcase the work of exceptional nurses, trained by the ICN TB/MDR-TB project, who are making an outstanding contribution to TB prevention, care and management in their local facility and/or community.

 

The Leading Lights Award highlights the contribution of those involved with caring for people affected by any form of TB and shows the world what an impact effective training and resources can have on this global disease.

 

ICN invites all the ICN TB project partners to nominate nurses and allied health workers who have demonstrated excellence in their efforts to teach their colleagues about TB, improve patient care or make changes to reduce transmission of TB. 

The winners will be highlighted on the ICN’s TB Project webpages, and will be presented with a certificate and a special pin by their national nurses association.

 

Calls for nominations will be sent quarterly and people will be able to access the form on the ICN TB web pages here. https://www.icn.ch/what-we-do/projects/tbmdr-tb-project/leading-lights
