The winner of the Queen Silvia Nursing Award Poland received the award from the hands of the Queen of Sweden

The winner of the Polish edition of the competition, Adrian Nowakowski, together with the winners from other countries, took part in the Queen Silvia Nursing Award ceremony. The awards were presented by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden. The ceremony took place at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

Adrian Nowakowski is a graduate of the undergraduate studies in nursing at MUW. He works as a nurse practitioner in the Department of Neurology at the Central Clinical Hospital UCC MUW and at the same time is studying computer science and doing a specialization in nursing. He won the competition with his idea of “Stefania,” which involves giving phantoms located in nursing labs the function of speech and creating a platform based on artificial intelligence to conduct virtual conversations with patients. “Stefania” will make it possible to learn how to communicate effectively, especially with patients suffering from dementia.

The scholarship recipients of the last edition, in addition to Adrian Nowakowski, were: Crystal Rivera (USA), Jurgita Stankuniene (Lithuania), Paola Gava (Germany), Hanna Jokinen (Finland), Floro Cubelo (Finland), Josefine Caesar (Sweden), Stefan Krantz (Sweden).

The Queen Silvia Nursing Award competition has an international character. The event is supported by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden. The purpose of the competition is to encourage nurses and nursing students in Poland to seek innovative ideas that can help solve our society's most pressing health problems. Both practicing nurses as well as nursing students can enter the competition.
