Cuan Mhuire claimed both the Grand Prix and the Health & Safety Excellence Award - Healthcare at the Health & Safety Excellence Awards 2026, recognised for the Proactive Women's Health Initiative, a programme that addresses the significant and frequently overlooked healthcare needs of women entering addiction treatment in Ireland.

The Grand Prix, the highest honour the Health & Safety Excellence Awards confer, recognised the initiative's impact not just within the healthcare category but across the entire field of 2026 entries.

"Cuan Mhuire has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to safeguarding wellbeing through proactive, forward-thinking initiatives. By placing prevention, care, and education at the forefront, it has created a meaningful impact on those it serves. Its approach reflects strong leadership, compassion, and a deep understanding of evolving health and safety needs. Through innovation and dedication, it continues to raise standards and inspire positive change. A truly deserving recipient, setting a powerful benchmark for excellence in health and safety."

On the Healthcare category award, the panel added: "The Well Woman clinic stands out as a strong initiative, helping create a culture where prevention is normalised, accessible, and stigma free. The three-part women's health programme, including clear links to biological risks such as Hep B, shows a well-rounded and informed approach. A meaningful project that tackles real challenges while supporting long term wellbeing."

The Health & Safety Excellence Awards 2026 ceremony took place on 30 April 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry.
