Complex case manager Ruth Foster has been honoured with the title Queen’s Nurse.
It is awarded by the community nursing charity The Queen’s Nursing Institute and indicates a commitment to high standards of patient care, learning and leadership.
Ruth, of Moulton Seas End, works for Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and said: “I am thrilled to have it. I’ve worked hard since qualifying and I think it’s a well-earned reward for all the effort and hard work.”
She began her NHS career in 1991, starting in dentistry as a dental health educator for South Lincolnshire before being seconded to do nurse training. Having completed her training, Ruth started as a staff nurse on joining Bourne Community Team.
