A new report from Excel Recruitment indicates that Ireland’s healthcare sector is facing significant strains due to an aging population, staffing shortages, and wage disparities. The Healthcare Salary Guide for 2025 points to rising operational costs, upcoming minimum wage increases, and a widening pay gap between public and private sectors. Many healthcare professionals are shifting toward roles that offer better work-life balance, while the sector increasingly relies on international recruitment to fill vacancies. Claire Timmon, Head of Healthcare at Excel Recruitment, emphasized the critical need for the industry to adapt to these challenges.
