In this episode of the Ice Expo Podcast, we’re joined by Tom Brown, Director of Doctor.ie, to discuss the future of accessible healthcare in Ireland and why preventative health is more important than ever.
Tom shares the story behind Doctor.ie – from its origins in digital health software to becoming a nationwide network of 15 walk-in clinics offering same-day GP access, health screening, telehealth, and specialist services. We explore how technology, nurses, and doctors work together to give patients real insight into their health, not just test results.
With a strong focus on men’s health, the construction industry, and preventative care, Tom explains why Doctor.ie has partnered with Randox and what attendees can expect from their stand at the ICE Expo. The conversation also covers blood testing, wellness screening, TRT clinics, workplace pop-up health clinics, sports partnerships, and how early intervention can genuinely save lives.
A must-listen for anyone interested in health, wellbeing, construction, or the future of occupational healthcare in Ireland.
