Fit Farmers

It’s not always comfortable putting your work forward to be judged at a national level, particularly when you spend most of your time focused on delivery rather than promotion.

We didn’t win on the night, but being recognised as a finalist at the Irish Healthcare Centre Awards 2026 was still a really significant moment for Fit Farmers

For a programme built around practical, community-based health support for farmers and rural communities, it’s encouraging to see our work acknowledged at a national level.
Recognition like this helps reinforce that accessible, locally delivered health initiatives have an important role to play.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners, and thank you to everyone who has supported programme along the way especially Dr Knut Schroeder Expert Self Care who joined me at the event.
