Judges

The judges of the Irish Healthcare Awards 2025 are an esteemed panel of leading healthcare professionals, executives, academics, and patient advocates, each bringing a wealth of expertise and experience to the selection process. Representing a diverse cross-section of the healthcare sector, they include CEOs of major hospitals and healthcare organisations, senior consultants, academics, policy leaders, and patient representatives.

They will assess your work in a rigorous judging process, reading every entry before creating our shortlist. Those shortlisted will then debated on the final judging day when all judges review and select our final winners.

The judges dedicate their time and energy to the awards, with many returning to help us every year. We just want to say a huge thank you to our judging panel for their hard work and commitment.
