The Rotunda Hospital along with our academic partners in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, enjoyed plenty of success at the Irish Healthcare Awards, held at the Ballsbridge Hotel on Wednesday 20th November.

Our staff were nominated in four categories in the prestigious awards this year, and brought home one award and one commendation.

CREATE: The Art of Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond, an art exhibition exploring perinatal research and experiences, organized by the HRB Mother and Baby Clinical Trial Network based in the RCSI Rotunda Research Department, was nominated in the Patient Education Project of the Year category.

The Rotunda’s Clinical Innovation Unit was nominated for Hospital Project of the Year for their project ‘Reducing invasive Group B Streptococcus Disease in Mothers and Their Babies Using Rapid Molecular Testing on a 24-7 Basis and Theoretical Modelling’.

The HRB Mother and Baby CTN based in the RCSI Rotunda Research Department was nominated, and commended, in a second category, Patient Lifestyle Educational Project of the Year, for their Debunking The Myths: The Science Behind Women’s Health workshop series for Transition year students.

And, the Clinical Innovation Unit was also nominated, and won, in a second category, Best Use of IT, for their project ‘Use of Artificial Intelligence for Interpretation of Bacterial Vaginosis Molecular Results in Maternity Patients’
