Editor's comment:

" The Irish Healthcare Awards are the largest and most comprehensive awards in the healthcare sector in Ireland and have celebrated excellence across the sector for more than 20 years. Many of the winners have gone on to great success with their project or idea, while the work of patient advocates, innovative managers and incredible doctors has been honoured and recognised. It is one of the landmarks in the Irish medical social calendar.  "
