The National Health Summit 2026

This event has ended

Croke Park, Thursday 5th February

Today healthcare leaders, innovators, and policymakers are reimaging the future of healthcare with a renewed focus on health and wellbeing as the core of system design and delivery. This theme reflects a growing consensus that healthcare must evolve beyond reactive treatment models to embrace preventive, holistic, and patient-centered approaches. Ageing populations, workforce shortages, the rise of chronic disease, the impact of climate change and tightening budgets means our healthcare system is facing many challenges. Most modern health systems have a primary focus on curing illness, but a pivot to systems that prioritise prevention as the cornerstone of good health could be transformative.

Now going into its 22nd year, The National Health Summit brings together leading experts, policymakers, clinicians and healthcare management professionals to discuss and address the most pressing healthcare challenges of our time and how to build a healthier future. We look forward to seeing you in February 2026 where we will discuss and debate how to embed wellbeing into healthcare policy and practice, how to create new partnerships and programmes to scale community-based health initiatives and understand how technology and human-centered design can transform care delivery.
