Nominations are now open for the 2025 RCSI Alumni Awards sponsored by FRS Recruitment. Established in 2019, the Awards recognise the leadership and contribution alumni from each of RCSI’s six Schools make to healthcare across all stages of their careers, from undergraduate to postgraduate level, and provide an incredible source of inspiration to students and faculty at RCSI.

Anyone who has been inspired by an RCSI graduate can make a nomination, including fellow alumni, faculty, RCSI staff and peers. Last year saw the largest number of nominations to date, with over 116 submissions received and the Alumni Relations team hope to exceed this figure in 2025. Nominations will remain open until Sunday, 16 February.

Recipients of the Alumni Awards will be announced in July 2025 and will be presented with their Awards at a special ceremony which will take place in RCSI in Dublin, on Friday, 17 October 2025.

Aíne Gibbons, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, RCSI, said: “The RCSI Alumni Awards acknowledge the work and contributions of RCSI alumni as global healthcare professionals. This is an opportunity to recognise someone – perhaps a colleague or former classmate, who is excelling in his or her career in healthcare and making a significant impact in their field. We are looking forward to hearing who has inspired you through your nomination – please do encourage your colleagues and fellow RCSI graduates to nominate too.”

FRS Recruitment will continue to sponsor the RCSI Alumni Awards for 2025. Lynne McCormack, General Manager, FRS Recruitment, said: “FRS Recruitment is honoured to be the returning sponsor of the RCSI Alumni Awards. Like RCSI, we value the contributions that alumni make, not just to healthcare, but to society as a whole. All areas of healthcare are focussed on transforming lives, and in a way, recruitment is similar. Our goal is to support the careers of professionals who, are making an extraordinary difference in the world.

“For FRS Recruitment this partnership is about recognising and celebrating a community of professionals who are advancing their fields and shaping the future of healthcare. We look forward to working closely with RCSI to continue shining a spotlight on those who push boundaries, drive innovation, and inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals.”
