The Institute Hyalual Award for Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner of the Year WINNER: Lou Sommereux
“The other seven finalists were all worthy winners, so to be chosen is such an honour.” Lou Sommereux, winner
Lou Sommereux, the 2014 Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner of the year, founded her aesthetic clinic in 2002, and has now garnered over 12 years of delivering excellence and clinical expertise to the Cambridge area. She was a member of the RCN Aesthetic Forum and in 2009 a founding board member of the BACN, which she continues to serve as vice chair. The expert judging panel considered carefully how the finalists showed evidence of clinical expertise, continuous professional development, commitment to patient safety and the difference they make to their patients, clinic and the profession as a whole. A highly deserving winner and delighted with her award, Lou said, “The other seven finalists were all worthy winners, so to be chosen is such an honour. To have been judged by my peers, whose knowledge and expertise I respect hugely, and to then win this prestigious award is an accolade indeed.” Managing director of Institute Hyalual Iryna Stewart was welcomed to the stage to present Lou with her trophy and said of the winner, “We are so pleased to be able to acknowledge the valuable clinical contribution and excellent patient care that UK aesthetic nurses provide through our sponsorship of this category, and I commend Lou on all her hard work which has led to her being honoured as the winner of this award.”
