Mr Anthony Lyons, husband of the late Moyra Lyons, generously sponsors this award. Moyra Isabel Lyons (nee Buick), was born in Dundee, Scotland in March 1950 and passed away in Melbourne in 2014, following a long battle with leukaemia. In her 64 years, Moyra lived an extraordinary life distinguished by professional achievement, extensive travel, a generosity of spirit and a genuine love of life that she shared with all those around her. She met her husband Anthony Lyons at St Andrews, Scotland in 1990 while Anthony was on holidays and within three years, in November 1993, Moyra had moved to Australia and she and Anthony were married.
The Moyra Lyons Nursing Award recognises the exemplary care Moyra received from the wonderful nurses who cared for her during her four-year battle with leukaemia. In dedicating this nursing award to Moyra’s memory, her husband Anthony’s bequest establishes up to two prizes to support nursing students. Awarded to the students who have completed a subject or clinical placement in palliative care who demonstrates commitment, endurance, care and perseverance as assessed by a selection committee.
