Rooney Opticians Named Optometry Practice Of The Year
Rooney Opticians have been named Optometry Practice of the Year at the annual Randox Health Healthcare Awards in a ceremony at Stormont Hotel.
Recognising the achievements of the Northern Ireland health sector, businesses and organisations came together earlier this month for the award ceremony hosted by BBC's Noel Thompson.

We fully support and applaud Chest, Heart and Stroke's dedicated work to educate people on signs and symptoms of these common illnesses, and on lifestyle advice to help prevent them."
During the event almost £1300 was raised for NI Chest Heart and Stroke.
