The public can now vote for their staff Hero at Tallaght University Hospital (TUH).
The Patient Experience Category at their annual Hero’s Awards invites patients and their families to nominate a staff member who has delivered exceptional care and made a real difference to them during their treatment at the Hospital.
The Hospital’s very successful awards are now in their eighth year.
The public can submit nominations via email, post, or by completing a form available at the Hospital reception by the closing date of Friday, May 29th, 2026.
Each nomination should include a brief explanation of why the staff member deserves to be recognised as a Hospital Hero.
Opening the nominations, TUH CEO Barbara Keogh Dunne said;
“These awards are a very important event in the Hospital calendar and offer us the opportunity to recognise the incredible dedication and commitment of our staff.
“The nominees are colleagues who have gone above and beyond for their patients.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to call out their dedication and outstanding service on behalf of you, the community we serve.”
Sharon Larkin, Director of HR, shared; “I would encourage the public to tell us about the staff member they feel deserves to win the Patient Experience Award.
“We will ensure that all our nominees receive a special letter explaining the reasons behind their nomination.
“This year’s winners will be announced on Thursday, June 25th 2026.
“It’s always such a lovely event and something I really look forward to every year.”
