The DAISY Award is an international program that honours nurses for their skilled and compassionate care. Our school health nurses play an important role in our school communities. They support students’ physical, emotional and social wellbeing.
Each year DECYP will present the DAISY Award to two school health nurses who provide outstanding support in their schools.
We are very excited as 2025 will mark the first time the Award has been given to nurses in a school setting, anywhere in the world!
