The NIPC is excited to announce the date for 2025 annual conference. This year marks a significant milestone as the National Prevention Conference and the West of Ireland Integrated Diabetes Care Conference come together for the first time to deliver a special two-day conference on the 14th and 15th of November at the Galmont Hotel, Galway.
This unique collaboration reflects the growing recognition of the need for integrated approaches across disciplines, particularly in the management of interrelated conditions such as cardiovascular disease, renal disease, metabolic disorders, and diabetes. By unifying the strengths of both conferences, the NIPC aims to foster deeper connections between clinicians, researchers, policymakers and public health professionals in addressing the most pressing challenges in preventive medicine, cardiometabolic health and diabetes care.
Agenda details and registration will be announced shortly but for now, please save the date in your diary.
