NORTH West Cancer Centre Manager Una Cardin has become the joint winner of the Chief Nursing Officers’ Award for Excellence in Cross Border Nursing.
Una shares the honours with the oncology nurses from Letterkenny University Hospital.
They picked up the award in recognition of their contribution to the new North West Cancer Centre, at Altnaglevin Hospital, and the new cross border service it provides.
The awards were presented at the annual All-Island Chief Nursing Officers’ Conference in Dublin Castle last week.
Congratulating Una on her award, Elaine Way, Chief Executive said: “This award is a fitting acknowledgement of Una’s unrelenting commitment to develop a first class cross border cancer centre that will improve outcomes for cancer patients.
“Her persistence, drive and enthusiasm over the past number of years from the beginning of the project right up until we began treating our first patients last week, is remarkable.
“This is a richly deserved award which not only recognises Una’s own work but also acknowledges the great team of cancer services staff working in the North West Cancer Centre.”
