Nurse manager Brett Hayes from York took out the top gong at the Western Australian Nursing and Midwifery Awards at the weekend. The WA Country Health Service (WACHS) employee developed TelePalliative Care in the Home in the Wheatbelt in 2016. He was named the Western Australia’s Nurse of the Year. Mr Hayes, who works only in the Wheatbelt region, has been a nurse for 10 years and started his career in the city. “There is quite a contrast between metropolitan and regional nursing,” Mr Hayes said.
