Abstract
Heather Hasthorpe, rheumatology specialist nurse at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and winner of the Innovations in Your Specialty award at the Nurse Awards 2013, was misquoted in our nurse awards supplement (March 13). Talking about her work with patients with rheumatoid arthritis, she was quoted as saying: 'My responsibility is to patients, to prevent the disability, pain and deformity associated with this degenerative disease.' Rather than describing the disease as 'degenerative', Ms Hasthorpe used the word 'destructive'. Nursing Standard apologises for the error.
