Hospital Professional Honours 2024: Finalists Announced
Hospital Professional News is excited to announce the finalists for the Hospital Professional Honours 2024!
The Honours are hosted by Hospital Professional News to promote excellence, dedication and innovation within the hospital sector.
Hospitals across Ireland have faced an especially challenging few years. They have risen to the occasion with aplomb. That’s why we want this year’s Honours to be the biggest yet – not only in recognition of excellence but as applause to the teams around Ireland who helped keep the country going under severe and sometimes unrelenting pressure.
The Hospital Professional Honours will represent a celebration of all hospital healthcare teams who were working tirelessly on the frontline.
The Honours are the most influential and respected networking event, lauding excellence, innovation and service development; judged by key influencers including renowned respected experts. Their foundation lies in our collaboration with leading pharmaceutical companies; without their investment and support, the event would not be possible.
We were overwhelmed with both the quantity and quality of the entries this year, making it an extremely difficult task for our esteemed judging panel.
