Florence Nightingale Medal 2019

Dame Patsy presented Red Cross nurse Felicity Gapes with her Florence Nightingale Medal, the highest award in nursing. A Registered Nurse since 1985, Felicity started working within the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in 2004 prompted by her experiences as part of peacekeeping missions with the Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps in Bosnia and Timor-Leste and a disaster relief mission in Papua New Guinea. Her Red Cross deployments have taken her to the Pacific, Somalia, South Sudan and Myanmar.
