NICON23 Waitlist
Thank you for your interest in attending this year's NICON Conference. Due to high demand, we are now operating bookings on a waiting list system. Please complete the following form and we will be in touch to advise as to availability:
If we are not able to offer you a place at the conference in-person, you will be invited to join our livestreaming platform, MedAll, which will allow you to view a reduced version of the conference in real time and watch the recordings after the fact.
The Northern Ireland Confederation's Annual Conference, Good Practice & Innovation Showcase 2023 offers a unique opportunity for colleagues and partners from across the health and care system, as well as the voluntary and community sector to come together, share ideas, reflect, network and learn.
We meet again for conference this year at a time of significant and sustained pressure, with the traditional challenges facing our Health and Social Care system having been further compounded by political uncertainty and the cost-of-living crisis.
As the 75th anniversary of the NHS and the forthcoming general election bring a renewed focus to the debate on the future of health and social care, in Northern Ireland we will use our time together at conference to explore what we can do, working creatively and collaboratively, to turn pressure into possibility.
Over the course of a day and a half, we will consider how we bring a system focus to the opportunities for health and delve deeper into our own agenda for the HSC - focusing on integration and prevention, investing in workforce, redesigning services, driving productivity, embracing technology and enabling innovation - all supported by a new, emerging style of inclusive and empowering leadership.
We do hope you can join us to hear the latest from local leaders, examine international perspectives, network with over 500 colleagues and share learning and insights as we seek to drive transformation and maximise health outcomes for our patients and population.

- Peter May, Permanent Secretary, Department of Health; Chief Executive of the HS
