The inaugural awards ceremony took place in Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel in 2016. It was officially opened by Minister for Health, Simon Harris, T.D. and hosted by television personality and GP, Dr Pixie McKenna. Since then, the Awards have gone from strength to strength and have now become one of the highlights on the calendar for medical and healthcare professionals nationwide.
