Carol Baxter - for Services to Diversity in Nursing

Carol has worked as a midwife, health visitor and health promotion specialist as well as holding senior positions in the NHS, the Department of Health and the higher education sector. She has been a tireless educator and campaigner in the field of diversity in nursing over the last four decades.
