2022 NORTHERN IRELAND HEALTHCARE AWARDS WINNERS ANNOUNCED

From words spilling with sentiment, to shared celebrations, the heart of the region’s healthcare sector once again joined under one roof for the 2022 Northern Ireland Healthcare Awards.

Marking its 23rd year, the annual event represents an integral opportunity for healthcare professionals from across the diverse disciplines to not only honour the industrious, innovative projects of their peers, but reflect on their own extraordinary work too.

Returning to Belfast’s Europa Hotel, this year’s ceremony – coinciding with the 2022 Northern Ireland Healthcare Conference which took place earlier that day – was compered by renowned journalist Sarah Travers and attracted a guest list of 300-plus industry giants, spearheading service-providers, and budding student enthusiasts.

During the ceremony’s closing moments, Health Minister Robin Swann took to the stage to bestow the 2022 Special Recognition title upon Patricia Donnelly, former Head of the Vaccination Programme in Northern Ireland, for being a forward-thinking and stabilising force throughout the pandemic’s unpredictability.

Health Minister Robin Swann said: “It has been a huge privilege to attend the 2022 Northern Ireland Healthcare Awards this evening and celebrate our exceptional healthcare professionals. It’s important that we recognise their hard work and dedication, particularly over the past two years in which they been on the frontline of our response to COVID-19.

“I want to personally offer my congratulations to all of this year’s finalists for the tremendous innovation and commitment they have demonstrated. I would also like to pay special tribute to Patricia Donnelly. Patricia’s contribution to Northern Ireland’s vaccination programme has been truly outstanding and this award is so richly deserved.”
