Roscommon University Hospital short-listed for X-ray award

The Irish Institute of Radiography and Radiation Therapy has shortlisted the X-Ray Department at Roscommon University Hospital for the 2018 Medray Radiography Department of the Year Award.

Mary Garvey, General Manager, Roscommon University Hospitals said, “We are absolutely delighted that the X-Ray Department at Roscommon University Hospital has been short-listed for this year’s Medray Radiography Department of the Year Award. The other two finalists in this category are University Hospital Galway and Merlin Park University Hospital so already we know we have a winner within the Hospital Group. In addition UHG was short-listed for the Radiotherapy Department of the year.

“The Medray awards aim to recognise where staff go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure their patients and clients receive the utmost of special care and attention and this is what makes it such a meaningful award to be in the running for.

“The nominations followed a rigorous elimination process which involved an inspection by the Irish Institute of Radiography and Radiation, site visits and even a ‘secret shopper’ who observed our staff interaction with patients.”

The winners will be decided by combining the results of a public vote and site visit. The online voting system is open until the end of September where members of the public can cast their votes online at www.iirrt.ie.
