Royal North Shore Hospital gastroenterology nurse Gillian Prott has been named winner of the Healing Heart (Colleague Nominated) Award in the 2023 NSW Health Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery Awards.
Gillian was one of 29 finalists across nine categories honoured at an awards ceremony at NSW Parliament and online on 16 November.
She said winning the award has been “overwhelming and exciting”.
“I strive to be as good as I can and provide the best care I can to patients and keep up to date. But knowing that I’ve helped so many people along the way I think that’s the most rewarding part for me,” said Gillian, adding the recognition has inspired her in her work.
Gillian was nominated by Dr Allison Malcolm. The pair has collaborated at RNSH’s gastroenterology unit for 22 years.
Dr Malcolm paid tribute to her colleague. “Gillian is an outstanding gastroenterology nurse specialising in pelvic floor disorders. She has been instrumental in setting up what is one of the best units for the management of pelvic floor disorders in the world.”
