The 21th National Health Summit
Creating a healthcare system fit for today and fit for the future
February 6th, 2025 | Croke Park, Dublin
6th February 2025
Croke Park, Dublin
Introduction
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.
Our event will feature plenary sessions and dedicated conference tracks where we’ll be addressing some Big Question topics:
- Future population needs: Investing in future healthcare: Planning for the population’s future needs
- Productivity: Embedding productivity in patient care
- Digital: Realising the potential of digital innovation to transform healthcare
- Prevention: Why Prevention is paramount: How to fund prevention and well-being
- Equity & inclusion: Policy trends to promote equity and inclusion healthcare
- Public health: Moving the focus from throughput to outcomes
- Environment and health: Planning for the impact of climate change on population health
- Patient access: Why is it still problematic?
- Patient experience: Improving involvement, engagement & experience
- Workforce: Supporting the workforce to meet the demands of the future
- Medical innovations: How are we preparing the health system to medical innovations?
- Leaders and decision-makers in healthcare management and delivery
- Clinicians and clinical leaders
- Policy-makers, academics, government organisations
- NGOs
- Service and solutions providers to the health sector
