Clinical team leader Leeann Fisher said: “I am incredibly proud of the team and very grateful for the recognition of all the hard work that the team provides.

“Nursing in the community is an absolute privilege and to be a part of a patient's journey from discharge is extremely rewarding. Being invited into a patient's home where we laugh together and also cry together cannot be experienced anywhere else.

“Being recognised for this brings such an uplift for the team, especially during busy times. We have the award in the office as a daily reminder of the amazing nursing care that we are delivering in the community daily.”

Organised by Barnoldswick Town Council, the Pride of Barnoldswick awards recognise local heroes who are nominated by the public. This includes volunteers, members of the community and local organisations.
