HMI Leaders Award

We would like to invite you to attend these presentations on Wednesday evening. This is the second year of the HMI Leaders Award. Once again, we have been thrilled by the enthusiastic response from across the healthcare system to this HMI initiative.

Cork Beats Stress was joint winner last year. One of the comments made by Jenny Hayes about the experience included “…..the HMI awards also gave us a unique opportunity to hear about and to learn from lots of other excellent health care initiatives that are being devised and delivered on the ground.”

Attending the regional finals provides the opportunity for anyone within the region to come along and listen, and to lend their support to their colleagues.
