Irish Healthcare Awards 2015
The last few weeks have been very exciting for Siel Bleu Ireland and our Exercise, COPD & Me project. After receiving a grant from the Medtronic Health Communities Fund in October (you can read more about the award on our blog post here), we also attended the Irish Healthcare Awards 2015 last Thursday 5th November. Along with our partners COPD Support Ireland and Boehringer Ingelheim, the Exercise, COPD & Me project was shortlisted for awards in two categories
- Patient Organisation Project of the Year
- Best Patient Education Project – Pharmaceutical
Established in 2002 by the Irish Medical Times, the Irish Healthcare Awards have evolved into the “Oscars” of the Irish Healthcare Industry. Held in the Shelbourne Hotel Dublin and presented by broadcaster Ivan Yates, the awards were attended by over 370 people from across the Irish Healthcare sector.
Siel Bleu Ireland is delighted to announce that we received commendation in both categories on the night. We hope the last few weeks are only the start of the momentum for the Exercise, COPD & Me project and that it will enable us to help many more adults living with COPD to improve their lives and health.
