The Best Medicine for a Sick Healthcare System | First Thought Talks | GIAF 2023

First Thought Talks 2023: Professor Martin Curley in conversation with Paul Cullen
Ireland is dangerously behind the rest of Europe in providing a digital health records system. Patients are being put at risk because of the persistence of paper records and lack of communications systems. Professor Martin Curley spent four years designing a new system for the HSE, only to find himself obstructed by ‘bad actors’ with ‘no vision’. He resigned in frustration in January of this year, and had the courage to speak out about his reasons for leaving.
He was interviewed by Paul Cullen, Health Editor of The Irish Times.
First Thought Talks are presented in association with University of Galway.
