The ICN reports that the prize has been awarded for Dr Styles’ achievements and contributions to the nursing profession internationally. 

As a past president of the ICN, the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the American Nurses Credentialing Centre (ANCC), ‘Gretta’ Styles has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to leadership in nursing, said an ICN spokesperson.  ‘She was the architect of the first comprehensive study of nursing credentialing in the 1970s, and an innovator and pioneer in defining this critical work that recognises and differentiates quality in all aspects of nursing practice. In the 1980s, she spearheaded ICN’s definitive work on nursing regulation, including the publication of a guidebook on nursing regulation.  Always an original thinker, Dr Styles is the author of many other articles and books, including, On Nursing: A Literary Celebration, which has inspired nurses around the world.’

• The late Christiane Reimann was the ICN’s first full time Executive Secretary. The prize is funded from a trust established through her will.
