This was a well attended lunchtime seminar where the floor was opened to people attending to put their questions directly to John Connaghan, Deputy Director General, HSE. It offered a wonderful opportunity to hear from John about a range of current issues in the health services like integrated care, the role of GPs, working with non-statutory partners, the need to shift the balance to health and wellbeing and the Value Improvement Plan. The event also presented a great networking opportunity to meet with old colleagues and to make new contacts.
