The Heart of Mercy Medal is awarded for showing exceptional devotion and competence in the performance of medical duties over a continuous and significant period, or to an individual who has performed an exceptional act of bravery to assist a person in need. The Heart of Mercy is one of the distinguished awards that allow its recipient the use of post-nominal letters, and might warrant a noble title.
