School of Medicine’s Dr Niamh Cummins Accepts International Best Practice Award on Behalf of IPERN
The Inaugural Irish Blue Light Awards ceremony took place last weekend where Dr Niamh Cummins (Associate Professor in Public Health, School of Medicine) was honoured to accept the "International Best Practice Award" on behalf of the Irish Paramedicine Education and Research Network (IPERN). The Blue Light Awards recognise the vital contribution of frontline emergency, security and Blue Light services across Ireland, including statutory, voluntary and community-based organisations. Dr Cummins is the Founder and Chair of IPERN - an inter-professional volunteer network dedicated to building research capacity, education, and collaboration in out-of-hospital and emergency medical care in Ireland and internationally. The Blue Light International Best Practice Award honours individuals or teams who have set a benchmark for global excellence in frontline emergency services. It recognises those who have demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and innovation, advancing the Ireland Blue Light & Frontline Emergency Services community on the international stage through outstanding best practices. Congratulations to Dr Cummins and all of the IPERN Team on receiving this recognition which is particularly special as IPERN marks the milestone of celebrating their 5th anniversary this year.
