The 2025 Staff Nursing Awards took place on
Thursday 8th May
at the Titanic, Belfast. We were so delighted to be lead sponsor once again.
Set out to reward good practice and to celebrate achievements, the awards recognise innovation and outstanding clinical excellence in healthcare professionals in care homes, residential care settings and domiciliary care teams across Northern Ireland. We want to shine a light on the vital work that is being done to provide the care and support that is needed to provide those in care homes with the quality of life we would want for ourselves in later life.
