RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences is delighted to announce FRS Recruitment as the new sponsor of the RCSI Alumni Awards. This will be the first time the RCSI Alumni Awards has had an overall sponsor, renaming the Awards to the RCSI Alumni Awards sponsored by FRS Recruitment. The sponsorship supports a three-year term from 2024 to 2026.

The RCSI Alumni Awards is an annual programme that celebrates the outstanding achievement of RCSI alumni, whose exemplary accomplishments and contributions as global healthcare professionals are leading the world to better health.

Established in 2019, every year RCSI recognises outstanding alumni through these prestigious awards. As exemplary role models, RCSI Alumni Awardees inspire all those who aspire to have an impact on healthcare and society. To date, there have been 26 recipients of the award, who are held in the highest esteem across a range of healthcare professions, from Professor Niamh Nic Daeid, Director of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science to Dr Ben LaBrot, Founder of the Floating Doctors. 

Speaking at the launch of the new sponsorship, Professor Cathal Kelly, Vice-Chancellor, RCSI said: “The RCSI Alumni Awards sponsored by FRS Recruitment acknowledge RCSI Alumni, whose exemplary accomplishments and contributions as global healthcare professionals are leading the world to better health. FRS Recruitment share our ambition to honour outstanding Alumni in healthcare and we look forward to working closely with them over the next three years.”

Lynne McCormack, General Manager, FRS Recruitment said, “Most healthcare professionals aspire to make a difference to the lives of their patients or to improve the world around them. Just like the award recipients, health professionals are everyday heroes in their own right. Given our proven record as healthcare recruitment specialists, FRS Recruitment strives to support those working in healthcare all across Ireland to follow their dreams and to achieve their career goals. We hope by partnering with RCSI on these awards, it will shine a spotlight on the award recipients and showcase the many rewarding career paths open to all those pursuing their calling in healthcare.”
