NHS Hero nominee – Sister Kelly Bloor

Children’s Nurse Practitioner Sister Kelly Bloor has been praised for her ‘exceptional dedication’ by the mum of one of her young patients.

Kelly, who has been working at Trent Vale Medical Practice for six years, diagnosed the baby with a condition that had not been picked up by other health professionals.

The baby’s mum said: “I would like to nominate Sister Kelly Bloor as an NHS Hero in the Your Heroes Awards. She is a true NHS hero whose exceptional dedication and unwavering commitment have made a huge difference to my family, particularly my baby boy.

“Sister Bloor consistently goes above and beyond, demonstrating a level of care and attention that truly sets her apart. Her championing of patients is remarkable and this is especially evident in her work with babies.

“When my son was struggling with severe nappy rash it was Sister Bloor’s meticulous observations and insightful questioning that led to his diagnosis of Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy. She listened to my concerns, piecing together the subtle clues that others had missed.

“She doesn’t just treat symptoms; she cares for the child and their family, offering reassurance, guidance and unwavering support.

“Her dedication extends beyond her shifts, always thinking, always striving for the best outcomes. Kelly is an outstanding professional and a deserving recipient of this NHS Hero nomination.”

Alongside her work at Trent Vale Medical Practice Kelly, who has worked for the NHS since 2007, has a role with the GP Federation where she is pioneering a pathway for student nurses to learn within a GP practice.

She said: “I’m stunned to be nominated for a Your Heroes Award. It’s really lovely to hear positive feedback.”

Kelly’s professional specialism is diagnosing and prescribing for children and babies but she is also a general practice nurse for adult patients.
