Celebrating Excellence in Post‑Registration Education
Newcastle Hospitals Skills Academy (NHSA) has been shortlisted for the Student Nursing Times Awards 2026, in the category of Nurse Education Provider of the Year (Post‑Registration).
This recognition celebrates higher education institutions and health and care providers that excel in delivering ongoing education and continuing professional development (CPD) for registered nurses, midwives, and nursing associates.
For us at NHSA, being shortlisted shines a light on the dedication, expertise, and innovation that shape everything we do – highlighting what truly sets our Academy apart:

We are committed to designing and delivering a forward‑thinking curriculum that equips healthcare professionals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to provide exceptional patient care – not only today, but in the future.
Offering high‑quality courses that develop leadership, management, research and clinical skills
We ensure our registered professionals have access to the best possible learning opportunities to support their growth as leaders and practitioners.
Delivering a broad, relevant, and highly rated portfolio
Our programmes are shaped by the needs of our colleagues – and the feedback shows the impact. We are proud to deliver education that learners consistently describe as valuable, engaging, and transformative.
Empowering autonomous practice and a life‑course approach to care
We support professionals to develop the confidence and capability to lead change, improve outcomes, and actively contribute to tackling health inequalities across our communities.
Embedding evidence‑informed learning and research-driven excellence
Our programmes translate evidence into practice, enabling learners to implement meaningful changes that enrich both patient care and professional development.
Making a real difference – for staff and patients
At the heart of our work is a commitment to nurturing professional growth and supporting career progression. Every programme we deliver is designed to create real, measurable improvements in both clinical practice and patient experience.
Being shortlisted for this national award is a testament to the passion, expertise, and hard work of our educators, clinical partners, and – most importantly – our learners.
