The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has today (Friday) awarded its annual prizes to members who have made outstanding contributions.
The prizes were announced at the INMO’s annual delegate’s conference in Sligo, its first to be held in-person since the start of the pandemic.
This year’s winners:
INMO President and Advanced Nurse Practitioner at Beaumont Hospital, Karen McGowan said:
“It is so inspiring to see nurses and midwives continue to push their professions forward through innovation and activism year after year. It’s also wonderful to see our members participating in our in-person conference this year after two years apart.
“I’m so grateful to INMO members for their active participation in the union throughout the pandemic while continuing their outstanding commitment to their work and their patients.
“Our conference is always an important milestone for the organisation, and I am very grateful for this opportunity to recognise the contributions of our incredible colleagues.”
