The Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Awards celebrate excellence across the health and social care sector, recognising individuals and teams who have demonstrated outstanding commitment, compassion and professionalism within their roles.
The awards pay tribute to those who go above and beyond in their field of work, highlighting best practice and innovation across health and social care services.
There are a wide range of categories available for nomination, representing a wide range of roles and services across the sector. These include services for older people and specialist care, residential and community-based support, and roles spanning from frontline staff such as care workers and care managers to those making a wider impact through leadership, training and innovation.
The awards are inclusive, bringing together the statutory, independent and voluntary sectors, as well as unpaid carers, to promote collaboration and shared learning across Northern Ireland. Working in partnership with health and social care organisations, care partners and local networks is central to the awards, helping to strengthen connections and celebrate collective achievement.
By nominating a colleague, you are recognising their dedication and contribution while also helping to raise the profile of the health and social care sector across Northern Ireland.
