Morisenuola (Mo) Ladele, General Manager for Healthcare of Older People at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), has been presented with a prestigious British Journal of Nursing ‘Nurse of the Year’ award.

“Reflecting on the whole experience, it encourages me to continually advocate for the delivery of safe high quality care services that is available, accessible and equitable for everyone.”
