Our Board Chair, Leo Kearns, wraps up the day here at Croke Park for #IHFForum2026.

Thank you to all speakers and delegates. It was an inspiring and insightful day.

As one audience member said, 'There are so many issues that I wasnt aware of, but am now.'

The conversation doesnt end here.

Ciara also discussed the Usher Island Womens Health Clinic, and the positive outcomes for those attending for cervical screening.

Dr Rowan Harwood also reminds us that these decisions are often set out in law, so we need to look at everything in place, including the infrastructure.

'How do you determine a good death when there are so many differing opinions?'

MC, Dermot Whelan, kicks off our panel discussion with a hard question to our panellists.

#IHFForum2026 #JointheConversation

Our first plenary speaker of the day, Dr Rowan Harwood discusses the difficulty in measuring a good death.

▪️When does the dying period begin?
▪️What are we measuring?
▪️Do we measure a "bad death" instead?

What are your thoughts?
