About
The National Primary Care Summit
The National Primary Care Summit is transforming community based Primary Care health service delivery, diagnostics, screening and health promotion to improve patient outcomes. Over 20 years on from the Primary Care Strategy and after some significant
capital investment in primary care centre infrastructure and the recent rapid acceleration in digital solutions, including AI and social media we look at what’s next for the sector. During the Summit we will explore how best to further expand resources and utilise general practice, primary, community and shared care models to deliver Slaintecare for our rapidly expanding and aging population.
This event will once again bring together key medical nursing and ancillary healthcare practitioners and both public and private service delivery providers, including policy makers, insurers, regulators, technology, diagnostic providers, researchers and innovators to showcase past success in service design, delivery and help plan for the future.
Sessions on Investment Opportunities in Primary Care will highlight funding mechanisms, public-private partnerships, and scalable care delivery solutions. Thought leaders in health tech will present cutting-edge Innovations in Telemedicine, showcasing tools that elevate access and streamline operations. Attendees will also gain practical strategies on Effective Communication with Patients, fostering trust, health literacy, and adherence. Panel discussions on Best Practices in Primary Care will spotlight successful clinical models, data-driven decision-making, and community-oriented care. Expect inspiring keynotes, interactive workshops, and networking that bridges care delivery and business excellence—making it a must-attend for professionals shaping the future of Primary Care.
