Kingston University has been shortlisted in five categories at the Student Nursing Times Awards.

Kingston University's School of Nursing is rated number one in London in the most recent Guardian University Guide.

Over the last few years the school has been awarded 13 nominations.

Kingston University London wrote: "In its eleventh year, the national awards shine a light on the brightest talent in the nursing community. They recognise students, graduates, nurses, lecturers and supervisors who go the extra mile, as well as universities that put the day-to-day student experience first."

Third year learning disability nursing student Jessica Ball has been shortlisted for two awards, Most Inspirational Student Nurse of the Year and Student Nurse of the Year: Learning Disabilities.

The university is also in the running for Teaching Innovation of the Year. The project shortlisted is a module taught to disability nursing students about improving safe and effective care delivery in acute care.

The final two accolades the University is up for are Student Placement of the Year: Community and Partnership of the Year - both for its links with Haringey Learning Partnership where a large proportion of the workforce are Kingston alumni.

The awards will be handed out at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Friday May 27.
