IPHA says Ireland must "get serious" about R&D

8 June 2008

The Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association has issued a call for the government to "get serious" about clinical research. Ireland has a unique opportunity to now position itself as the hub for translation research that would open the door of the country's excellent research capabilities to more R&D collaboration, a meeting of the Irish Platform for Patients' Organization, Science and Industry (IPPOSI) in Dublin heard last month.

The IPHA's chief executive, Anne Nolan, told the over 250 delegates that, "if Ireland is serious about attracting a worthwhile program of clinical trials and world class researchers to the country, we need to make innovation work for patients."

IPPOSI chairman Michael Griffin said: "it is vital for patients that the latest, most advanced medicines and technologies are available. We know that patients want access to the latest medicines and treatments and are interested in being involved in clinical research."
