The outpatient dialysis team at Mayo Clinic in Florida has been recognised with a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, an honour given for compassionate, patient-centred care.
The award, which celebrates nursing excellence across healthcare settings, was presented to the Florida-based team after they were recognised for going beyond routine clinical duties to support and educate their patients. The DAISY Award is a nationally recognised honour in the United States, given to nurses and nursing teams who demonstrate outstanding commitment to the people in their care.
The dialysis team works with patients who need regular kidney filtration treatment — a process where a machine cleans the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so adequately. That kind of care often involves long, repeated sessions, and the relationship between nurses and patients tends to run deep over time.
Mayo Clinic’s post cited the team’s dedication to education alongside their clinical work, though the full text of the announcement was not available at the time of publication.
This award originates in the United States and the story does not involve NHS services or Kent healthcare providers. Readers in Kent who have questions about kidney (renal) care or dialysis services can contact their GP or call NHS 111 for guidance.
