Masterclass – The Future of Healthcare in the Community

Our healthcare system is facing significant challenges: we have a growing and ageing population, life expectancy is increasing, as is the prevalence of chronic disease.  The Covid pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges and underlined the significant strains on our secondary care system.  To help meet the needs of patients and lessen the strain on our hospitals and their staff, how care is delivered must change.  Developing community based care is a key aspect of this change.  The HSE are developing nationwide programmes to assist in delivering this change, alongside various healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies.
