Ingrid's Nursing Times column was entered for the prestigious Professional Publishers Association (PPA) Awards and was shortlisted in the category of Columnist/Expert Contributor of the Year together with Alastair Campbell at Men’s Health, Helen Edwards at Marketing Week, Mark Ritson also at Marketing Week and Gideon Spanier at Campaign magazine. What amazing company.....!
Amazingly, Ingrid has been awarded a trophy for her column for a second time! Last November, she was named Columnist of the Year (B2B) at the 2022 British Society of Magazine Editors Awards (see previous post).
Kaïn and I were invited to the award ceremony at City Central at the HAC in London. It was a very emotional night and Ingrid winning such a prestigious journalism award for the second time fills us all with immense pride.
The judges commented on “Ingrid’s writing as incredibly honest, powerful and moving. She charted her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment as both a healthcare professional themselves and as a patient, using their own experience and industry title to provide a truly authentic and informative account.”

Kaïn and I could barely keep it together when Ingrid received a standing ovation for her award. Many thanks to Harry Bower from the Nursing Times for this video.
We're enormously grateful to the PPA for the award and Steve Ford of the Nursing Times for Ingrid's nomination and for sharing her story to a wider audience.
