Established in 2016, the Health Outcomes Research Centre (HORC) is dedicated to the development and dissemination of evidence-based research on healthcare outcomes that informs healthcare policy and improves patient outcomes.

The National Healthcare Outcomes Conference offers a unique forum for discussion of how Ireland can, and has, embraced a more value-based healthcare approach towards meeting our healthcare challenges and how this might impact policy, planning, service delivery and funding, as well as access to innovation.

The conference will be delivered as both an in-person and virtual meeting. The full event programme is here.
