Sep 13 Queen Silvia presents the Queen Silvia Nursing Awards

On Thursday, Queen Silvia presented the Queen Silvia Nursing Awards to nurses, assistant nurses, and students who have contributed innovative ideas that promote care for the elderly and people with dementia.

In her speech, Queen Silvia said: “I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact of compassionate and skilled dementia nursing care. Nurses do more than bridge the clinical; they are the bearers of stories, the guardians of dignity, and the vital link between past and present for countless families. You are the relationship builders, understanding personal histories and their relevance to treatment, while paving the way for the future - preserving the dignity of every individual you care for.”

The 2023 scholarships winners are Crystal Rivera (USA), Jurgita Stankuniene (Lithuania), Paola Gava (Germany), Adrian Nowakowski (Poland), Hanna Jokinen (Finland), Floro Cubelo (Finland), Josefine Caesar (Sweden), Stefan Krantz (Sweden).
