The 20th National Health Summit
Creating a healthcare system fit for today and fit for the future
February 7, 2024 | Croke Park, Dublin
Introduction
In the most recent country health profile for Ireland, OECD/European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies noted that people in Ireland live longer and healthier lives than most other Europeans – in the past two decades life expectancy in Ireland has registered huge gains with most people reporting being in good health.
It comes as no surprise though that the report also states that while quality of healthcare is generally good, access to services is constrained by costs and waiting times, a shortage of healthcare workers in the public sector and low intensive care capacity in public hospitals.
Ireland’s healthcare service has been explored and examined, discussed and debated at our events over the past two decades. At the 20th anniversary National Health Summit, we will look back at the care and treatment provided in Ireland over the past two decades. We will explore how the health and care system can adapt to face future challenges including a growing and ageing population with more people living longer with chronic health conditions, the challenge of moving to a prevention first approach to healthcare, realising the potential of innovation to transform patients’ care pathways and attracting and retaining healthcare professionals.
Join us in Croke Park February 7th as we look back on the past two decades, celebrate the present and embrace the future of healthcare. Hear from renowned healthcare leaders and experts, network and interact with your peers as we discuss learnings to inform and inspire a dialogue about the future of our healthcare service.
On this milestone year for the National Health Summit, we would like to say a special thanks to everyone who attended, spoke at, sponsored and supported our event over the past 20 years.
