Staff in independent care homes and domiciliary care services in Northern Ireland have been invited to demonstrate their outstanding work by entering the 2020 Staff Nursing Care Awards.

Launching the awards with broadcaster Claire McCollum at the opening of Staff Nursing’s new offices in Jennymount Business Park, Belfast, David McMaster, Director of Staff Nursing said, “The awards are one of the biggest celebrations of excellence in Northern Ireland’s care services for the elderly.

As Northern Ireland’s leading provider of nursing and healthcare workers and their training, we are delighted to sponsor these awards which demonstrate the quality of life we would want for ourselves in later life.”

There are five new categories in the 15 award categories which are open to healthcare professionals and ancillary staff in nursing and residential homes and domiciliary care teams. For the 2020 awards, healthcare students on placement in care homes have their own category.

Age NI will be the nominated charity for celebratory awards dinner in Titanic Belfast on 26 March 2020.
