Centric Health GP

This Christmas, we wanted to do something a little more meaningful than a standard festive message.

These beautiful cards were hand-drawn by the children of our colleagues — many of whom are also patients in Centric Health practices across the country. We invited them to design Christmas cards, and every single entry was printed. This year, each of our practices will receive one of these designs to share the season with their community.

It’s a small reminder of something we believe deeply- our community is at the heart of everything we do. Thank you to the talented young artists who filled our clinics with colour, imagination, and Christmas cheer, and to our teams who make Centric Health what it is every day.

Wishing everyone a very happy and peaceful Christmas 🎄

Centric Health was proud to have our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Donal Bailey, participate in yesterday’s Primary Care Summit 2025.

Donal joined a powerful conversation on how telemedicine, data, digital tools, and AI are reshaping the future of primary care — and why the solutions to today’s challenges must be integrated, system-level, and grounded in collaboration.

The event brought together innovative thinkers, clinical leaders, and digital health experts, all aligned in one message: primary care is evolving, and we have a shared responsibility to shape it with purpose.

Thank you to the organisers, speakers, and all who attended for creating such an engaging and forward-thinking space. We look forward to continuing this dialogue and working together to build a more connected, resilient, and data-driven future for primary care.

We were pleased to be a part of the GP Practice Ally – Practice Leadership Summit 2025 in Portlaoise. Two inspiring days exploring how to refine systems, grow financial stability and build motivated, well-supported teams. Watch the aftermovie: https://youtu.be/C60ePI71xwM

A special acknowledgement to practice managers, who stand at the forefront of patient flow, quality, and practice culture. Events like GPPA remind us of the power of shared learning, collaboration and continuous development across primary care.

We’re already looking forward to October 2026 and another inspiring gathering of leaders shaping the future of general practice in Ireland.

Breast Cancer Awareness Day 💗 Early detection can save lives. Take a few minutes today to check your breasts; it could make all the difference.

Here’s how to perform a quick self-exam:
1️⃣ Look at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips.
2️⃣ Raise your arms and look for any changes in shape, colour, or swelling.
3️⃣ Feel your breasts while lying down — use a circular motion to check the entire breast, from the collarbone to the top of your abdomen.
4️⃣ Repeat while standing or in the shower.

If you notice anything unusual, like a lump, a change in shape, or persistent pain, book an appointment with your GP today.

Your health matters. Don’t wait, check today. 💗
