    2014
    Highly Commended in the 2014 Nursing Standard Nurse Awards for the development of the Health Related Absence Project. This project aimed to reduce the number of days and the number of incidents of absences from school due to health reasons.  The outcomes surpassed all expectations and reduced the health related absences across Portsmouth City, increased attendance and utilised a whole community approach to support both school and families to access education.
