20.09.2023 10:47
Whether problem solvers for nursing professionals or relief for those in need of care, the participants of the Queen Silvia Nursing Award (QSNA) Germany inspire the jury year after year. The application phase for the Queen Silvia Nursing Award 2023 finally starts on September 1st. All prospective and qualified nursing professionals in Germany are invited to submit their ideas for improving nursing and the healthcare system.
During the pandemic, the nursing profession came into the public eye. But despite massive appeals from health professionals and nurses, politicians have failed to improve the framework conditions for the nursing profession. The declining number of training courses in nursing is just one of the consequences. Many people in the nursing profession agree: Nothing will change by waiting. The Queen Silvia Nursing Award offers the largest possible stage to all nursing professionals who want to make a difference themselves.
The Queen Silvia Nursing Award is looking for ideas that solve a problem in nursing or healthcare. The idea is intended to benefit older people or people suffering from dementia. This also includes submissions that relieve the workload of nursing professionals so that they can better care for people in need of care. Whether complex or simple, analogue or digital – the German jury is looking forward to many creative ideas.
Competition entries can be submitted from September 1, 2023 to November 1, 2023. Both nurses in training and certified, practicing nurses are allowed to take part. Applications are submitted digitally via the competition website: QueenSilviaNursingAward.de. Each person is allowed to submit as many submissions as they want.
The German QSNA jury selects five of the six final ideas. This consists of representatives of the German partners. The sixth final idea will be determined through a vote on the QSNA Germany Facebook channel. The six final ideas will be announced at the end of November. These will be presented to the jury by the participants at the German QSNA final. The final decision is traditionally announced on Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden's birthday, December 23rd.
