An excellent session on medico-legal matters here at the Irish Hospital Consultants Association annual conference. We are delighted to be in the room and to hear our collaboration with the IHCA being referenced as part of their exciting forward thinking strategy.
It's been a powerful morning here at Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection, where consultants and healthcare leaders from across Ireland have come together for the IHCA Annual Conference 2025, Leading from the Frontline: Medical Negligence & Clinical Leadership. The opening session, “Medico-Legal Matters: Law Meets Humanity,” sparked an honest and constructive discussion on how Ireland can achieve a fairer, faster, and more compassionate system for patients and clinicians caught in prolonged medical negligence processes. As IHCA President, Professor Gabrielle Colleran shared in her opening remarks: “We want to light a candle, not curse the darkness, to show that clinician-led leadership is the key to a fairer, safer, and more sustainable health service.” The afternoon sessions will now turn to clinical leadership, exploring how consultants can shape reform, lead teams, and drive the next chapter of patient-focused healthcare. #IHCAConference #HealthcareLeadership #HealthReform #Consultants #ClinicalLeadership
