Kerry nurse wins major award at Tallaght University Hospital
These annual staff awards recognise employees who go above and beyond in their dedication, service, and leadership.
Since the awards were launched in 2019, they have honoured exceptional individuals/teams across the hospital, highlighting their contributions to excellence in healthcare and support to their colleagues. These most recent winners were celebrated at a special awards ceremony held in the hospital's Centre for Learning & Development. Their families and colleagues gathered to recognise their achievements and contributions.
Michelle is former student of the Presentation Secondary School in Listowel and along with her nursing colleague Clodagh Glynn frim Kildare, she won the Teamwork Award. Both Michelle and Clodagh are both Lung Cancer Nurse Coordinators at the Hospital.
The colleague who nominated then for the Teamwork Award said:
'I am proud to nominate Michelle and Clodagh in recognition of their outstanding commitment, collaboration, and service to the lung cancer service over the past 20 years. Working in a non-designated cancer centre, they have provided a lung cancer service equivalent to that of larger, designated centres.
'What sets them apart is not only their resilience and professionalism under pressure, but their drive to improve the system itself. They embody the essence of teamwork — consistently supporting each other, sharing responsibilities seamlessly, and demonstrating a quiet, sustained excellence that has earned them the deep respect of colleagues across disciplines. They are the definition of a high-functioning team and have had an immeasurable impact on patient care, staff morale, and the reputation of our service.'
