Welcome to the IPPOSI Patient Education Programme in Health Innovation

Welcome to the IPPOSI Patient Education Programme in Health Innovation.

This ‘blended learning’ (e-learning + face-to-face sessions) patient education programme, the first of its kind in Ireland, has been developed by IPPOSI, in association with a number of education partners.

The programme is specifically tailored for Irish patient communities on the following IPPOSI-relevant topics:

• Understanding Clinical Trials – delivered by the University College Dublin Clinical Research Centre
• Pre- and post-authorisation regulation of medicines and the regulation of medical devices in Europe – delivered by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA)
• HealthTechnology Assessment principles and practices – delivered by the Discipline of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Trinity College Dublin, in association with the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics (NCPE) and the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA).

This initiative is inspired by IPPOSI’s continued leading role in the European Patients Academy in Therapeutic Innovation (EUPATI).
