Nurses at a hospital’s emergency department have won a national award for their work to reduce the risk of sudden infant death.
The team at Leighton Hospital won the Critical and Emergency Care Nursing award at the 2025 Nursing Times Awards following the success of a project that delivers safer sleep education to families while their children are in A&E.
Bosses at the hospital in Crewe, Cheshire, said staff were praised for their compassionate, non-judgemental and collaborative approach.
The initiative was launched in 2024 and has delivered advice to more than 800 parents and carers.
