Register

Taking place on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin, this year’s conference will focus on the impact of previous research and explore how findings are being translated into practice. The event will also highlight good practice in Public & Patient Involvement (PPI) and foster networking and collaboration among those engaged in family caring and carer-related research.

Throughout the morning, you’ll have the opportunity to hear insightful presentations, take part in roundtable discussions, and connect with others interested in carer-related research and PPI. Together, we’ll reflect on what has been achieved and look ahead to the next phase of research and partnership in practice.

We look forward to welcoming you to Family Carers Ireland Research Conference 2025: Partnership from Research to Practice.

If you have any queries about the event, please contact our Research Officer, Joanne Murphy, at jmurphy@familycarers.ie.
