A consultant at St. Luke’s General Hospital for Carlow/Kilkenny has been named “Obstetrician of the Year” at the second annual Maternity & Infant magazine Awards (supported by Hibernian Aviva Health).

Trevor Hayes was presented with the award at a ceremony in the Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel earlier this month, hosted by RTE’s Sharon Ní Bheoláin.

Maternity & Infant magazine is published bi-monthly. It carries articles on health, behaviour, development, nutrition and general parenting issues – in addition to advice from respected Irish and international experts, top reader tips and the latest maternity and children’s fashion.

The awards are described as celebrating the very best in products and services, as voted on-line by parents/readers of the magazine nationwide. The highlight of the event was the People Awards which acknowledge the passion and commitment of people in their professional contribution to parents and children across Ireland. Mr Hayes was one of four members of the medical profession cited as demonstrating excellence in their profession (there were also awards for Nurse, Midwife and Paediatrician of the Year).

Reacting to news of Mr Hayes’ achievement, Ms. Anne Slattery (general manager, St. Luke’s General Hospital for Carlow/Kilkenny) said, “The HSE and management at St Luke’s are delighted at this recognition for Mr Hayes and, indeed, for the consistently high standards maintained at our Maternity Services Dept – where there are over 2,000 births annually. We work very hard to provide an excellent level of service to the community we serve at St Luke’s General Hospital.

Of course, it’s a bonus when recognition comes in the form of this deserved award for one of our team. Trevor Hayes is held in high esteem by colleagues and patients alike and I join in congratulating him.”
