The HSE Patient and Service User Forum along with the HSE Partnership Office organised a patient and partnership conference in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The aim of the conferences was to:
- Promote partnership: Strengthen the partnership community, both inside and outside our HSE, offering a chance for this community to network and meet key personnel involved in partnership efforts within the HSE national and regional structures.
- Share best practice: Facilitate the sharing of best practice and lessons learnt around existing partnerships in key strategic areas (health regions, innovation and digital health, culture and communication) through collaborative discussion and workshops.
- Identify challenges and opportunities: Identify and address challenges and opportunities to support additional partnerships, including cultural barriers, resource allocation, workforce and community capacity, policy framework etc.
- Mobilise for change: Serve as a catalyst for future change across our HSE, Department of Health, and beyond, embedding partnership as a shared approach to the future design, delivery, and decision-making around care.
