Health Summit
Transforming how healthcare is planned, delivered and experienced
6th February 2025
Croke Park, Dublin
Transforming how healthcare is planned, delivered and experienced
Transforming how healthcare is planned, delivered, and experienced is central to modernising our healthcare system. How do we transform healthcare to create more efficient, patient-centered, and responsive healthcare that meets the needs of individuals and populations in a more equitable and sustainable way? That is the central question we will be addressing at the 2025 National Health Summit.
Now going into its 21st year, this established event will feature healthcare leaders, practitioners and experts who will explore how the health and care system must adapt to face future challenges. One of the starkest of those challenges is the growth in the over-65s in Ireland currently at 800,000, but by 2031 that number will have reached 1,000,000 – in less than 30 years from now, that population will have doubled to 1.6 million.
Our growing and ageing population will have more people living longer with chronic health conditions. Our healthcare system must embrace the challenge of moving to a prevention first approach to healthcare, realising the potential of innovation to transform patients’ care pathways.

Meeting was relevant to the current change agenda and the quality of speakers was great. Also extremely well organised. Well done.
Unexpectedly for a “conference”, I greatly enjoyed my visit to the Health Summit and meeting (very) old friends and new. It also proved a great opportunity for useful networking.
… delighted to participate. Yes there was a great buzz around the place and an air of positivity!
The SMART Health Summit 2023 was an excellent day of discussion and networking, with thought leaders contributing the latest insights on all thing’s digital healthcare. It was a wonderful forum to catch up with HealthTech Ireland members, colleagues and strategic partners alike.
