Colleagues at Manx Care are celebrating after being recognised at the organisation’s second formal award ceremony.

In total there were over 270 nominations from areas across Manx Care and from the community for the public vote, with 44 individuals and teams shortlisted for awards in recognition of their contribution to Manx Care, its patients and service users across the last year.

The Care Awards event saw eleven individuals and teams receive prizes for their work across a broad range of categories.

Additionally, four members of Isle of Man Ambulance Service (IMAS) received Long Service Awards, three of which were presented by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant General Sir John Lorimer KCB DSO MBE. 

Nearly one hundred and eighty guests attended the black tie event at The Empress Hotel in Douglas, which was only made possible thanks to the support of a number of corporate sponsors.

The generosity of the sponsors meant that the whole event was delivered at zero cost to Manx Care. 

Lady Philippa Lorimer MBE; the Minister for Health and Social Care, Hon. Lawrie Hooper MHK; the Worshipful the Mayor of Douglas, Councillor Mrs Natalie Byron-Teare and Consort Mr Andrew Teare were all in attendance.
