-Ms Helm speaks about winning her award.
‘We’re so proud of Kim and can’t wait to see the tram with her name on passing through the hospital grounds’ said Mandie Sunderland, Nottingham University Hospital’s Chief Nurse.
‘It is a fantastic way to honour her for all her hard work and we’re very thankful to NET for helping us to raise the profile of nursing and midwifery at NUH in such a unique way’.
Jamie Swift, NET Marketing Manager, explained: “For the past 12 months, Julie’s name on the side of a tram has provided a constant reminder of the outstanding professionalism of local nurses.
“Kim’s name will now appear on one of our new Citadis trams which have been introduced onto the tram network ahead of the opening of two new lines to Chilwell and Clifton.”
