This exceptional team, made up of only 2 members, led by Emily Lambert, and supported by the dedicated Sarah Coiffait as the shared decision-making facilitator, has shown extraordinary commitment and dedication to the engagement of staff and the continuous improvement of nursing excellence.

Under Emily's leadership as the Lead Nurse for Pathway to Excellence, Northampton General Hospital has become the first hospital in the UK to receive the prestigious Pathway to Excellence redesignation. This incredible achievement is a testament to the relentless effort and passion of the team.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Emily and Sarah's work is their ability to pull together all the evidence required for the Pathway to Excellence Standards, meaning that the evidence was reviewed and promptly passed the review of the ANCC. The countless hours they spent meticulously gathering, organising, and analysing the evidence from various sources are a true testament to their strong work ethic and attention to detail.

Furthermore, the amount of editing that Emily and Sarah took on to ensure that the Evidence of Practices (EOPs) met the rigorous standards set by the Pathway to Excellence program is truly commendable. Despite the challenges that came their way, their unwavering enthusiasm and commitment shone through as they navigated through countless revisions and edits.

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The most recent survey results speak volumes about the impact Emily and Sarah have had on the nursing staff at Northampton General Hospital. The survey, which consists of 28 questions, saw a phenomenal response with each question answered with a resounding "strongly agree." This level of agreement is a testament to the trust and confidence the nursing staff have in Emily and Sarah's leadership.

The Pathway to Excellence team at Northampton General Hospital, led by Emily Lambert with Sarah Coiffait as the shared decision-making facilitator, provides exceptional work and outstanding achievements in engaging staff and improving nursing practices. Their dedication, resilience, and incredible results are an inspiration to us all.
