We are delighted to celebrate the winners of the 4th annual People of UHK Awards, a year that saw the highest number of nominations from the public and staff since the awards began!

The fantastic ceremony, held at Ballygarry Estate, Hotel and Spa on August 6th, was a testament to the incredible compassion, professionalism, and dedication shown by staff across the hospital. We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and submit a nomination.

As Mary Fitzgerald, Hospital Manager at UHK, said, "These awards are about recognising not just individual excellence, but the collective spirit that is moving our hospital forward every day."

Congratulations to all of our deserving winners! We are proud to share this group photo and will be featuring each winner individually over the coming weeks to share their inspiring stories.
