I am Ben the Associate Director of Nursing for Urgent, Emergency and Acute Medicine at the William Harvey Hospital in Kent. I have the privilege of leading the Emergency Department team, who are the current Nursing Times Team of the Year. I have had broad experience in my 21 years as a registered nurse, working in Medicine, Cancer, and Surgery and anaesthetics, before taking up my current role. I am eager to see the fantastic work that is being undertaken in the field of nursing, and am honoured to be asked to judge the team of the year category. I am passionate about leading change through staff engagement, education, and collaborative improvements, in order to deliver evidence based, safe care to patients.
