Your chance to vote for Radiology staff at Roscommon Hospital
The Radiology Department at Roscommon University Hospital is seeking a nomination for the 2018 MEDRAY Award – and needs your votes!
The Irish Institute of Radiography and Radiation Therapy (IIRRT) once again have teamed up with MEDRAY Imaging Systems to give the MEDRAY Award to a Radiographer/Radiation Therapist/Radiology Department who deals with many difficult and challenging tasks while in practice.
There are occasions where staff go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that their patients and clients receive the utmost of special care and attention and the MEDRAY award acknowledges this.
Mary Garvey, General Manager, Roscommon University Hospital, said: “Resulting in patient recognition of the Radiology Department here in the hospital, we decided to seek a nomination for the MEDRAY award.
“It is the first year that Roscommon University Hospital has sought a nomination for this award and it would be lovely to see the commitment and dedication of all the staff within the department recognised”.
