NHI would like to thank Members for the fantastic number of applications
received for all Award Categories

Valuing and acknowledging the highly skilled and dedicated individuals who work closest to our older persons in rewarding albeit demanding, challenging and specialised work is very important. They deserve the opportunity to shine and to have their invaluable work recognised and celebrated.

That is why we have decided to create this annual awards ceremony. We believe there is a fundamental need for a standards-orientated annual awards system to recognise achievement and excellence in the Irish nursing home sector. And that is why we are hosting the first NHI Care Awards 2010 in association with Homecare Medical Supplies.

By hosting the NHI Care Awards, in association with Homecare Medical Supplies, we intend to be a catalyst for active positive change by highlighting, recognising and meriting excellence and leadership in nursing home care. The awards will be the definitive celebration of excellence across our sector. The purpose of the event will be to promote best practice within the sector and pay tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding excellence and dedication within their field of work.

We have deliberately structured the awards so that the nominations can come from a member of the care team, resident or relative. This is to ensure that everyone who is involved in the sector can have their say. The award categories have been chosen with equal care to reflect not just on the professionals delivering services but also on the achievements of residents, part time staff as well as how well the nursing home integrates into its surrounding community.

I wish to acknowledge the support of Homecare Medical Supplies as title sponsor and all of the category sponsors for their financial support of the awards. Nursing Homes Ireland would particularly like to thank the independent judges for their time, dedication, and commitment to the 2010 Care Awards.

So, please take your time to browse through the categories and nominate whoever you believe has made outstanding contributions in the last year. Feel free to pass on copies of the application form and website link to anyone else.

Thank You,

Tadhg Daly,
CEO Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI)
