IPPOSI Information Day on Health Technology Assessment for Pharmaceuticals and New Medical Technologies - Where are we now?
TUESDAY 5TH APRIL 2011
EUROPEAN UNION HOUSE, Molesworth Street, D2.
11am – 2pm
Over the last decade innovative medicines and new health technologies have contributed to significant improvements in health status and quality of life. All across Europe people are living longer. In Ireland on average people are living into their seventies and eighties and, as a result, are spending a higher percentage of their lives in close contact with the health system. Treatments are also improving while becoming more expensive and resources to pay for such treatments are not increasing. These changes are putting our health system under increasing pressure.
This Information Day is an attempt to follow on from our Access to Medicines meeting held in 2008 where IPPOSI recommended the following:
· Ireland needs to foster a consensus based approach to the development of HTAs/PEAs rather than a prescriptive approach.
· The scope of HTA/PEA should not be limited to economic considerations only. Social, ethical, legal considerations are equally important.
· Patients and patient organisations need to be assisted and empowered to better understand HTA/PEA system and to formally engage in the HTA/PEA process.
SPEAKERS:
Ms Mairin Ryan, HIQA – outlining the HTA system in Ireland and the current structure in place
Prof Ciaran O’Neill, NUI Galway – the academic perspective with a particular focus on HTA’s and Medical Devices
Ms Jenny Hughes, GSK – the industry perspective in the context of access and new pharmaceuticals
Ms Liuska Sanna, European Patients’ Forum – the patient’s perspective, a look at Europe and patient involvement in the HTA process
Ms Orlagh Murphy, Enterprise Ireland – outlining EI’s role in guiding companies through the system in Ireland
