IPPOSI STRATEGY 2021-2024
The IPPOSI Strategic Plan 2021-2024 sets out how we will advance our patient-led mission to be the collective voice of patients, science & industry in Ireland. The strategy represents IPPOSI’s commitment to realise meaningful and sustainable patient & public involvement in an ever-changing health environment in Ireland, an environment which is facing an unprecedented number of challenges.
This strategy is a result of a year-long engagement with members and stakeholders as well as input from a HRB-appointed International Review panel in 2018. IPPOSI acknowledges all efforts and commitments from our broad membership as part of our activity and looks forward to future partnership approaches under the strategy.
Vision, Mission
OUR VISION is that the patient voice is at the centre of all health policy, care, research and innovation in Ireland.
OUR MISSION is to be the collective voice of patients, science and industry in Ireland.
We do this by inspiring and promoting patient involvement in the treatment and decision-making processes that affect healthcare in Ireland.
Patients and patient organisations have a right to be involved in healthcare policymaking and we advocate for their inclusion in decision-making processes.
We work towards a future where all patients in Ireland will access the best available treatments, care practices and health technologies when they need it and where they need it.
IPPOSI Values
Leadership
By asking the difficult questions, we position ourselves as a critical and constructive partners. We demand quality and call for an evidence-based approach to managing our health challenges.
Inclusivity
Our patient-led partnership is open to all health stakeholders – patients, science, industry, healthcare professionals, state agencies. Each partner has a unique contribution and we support the development of consensus within the diversity. We create the space for individual patients, their families and carers, patient advocates and patient organisations to mobilise under a single platform to address health innovation challenges.
Partnership
The greatest changes in healthcare can be made by bringing together patients, scientists, industry, and other key stakeholders to advance a shared vision of our health future.

Priority Areas
Access to Health Innovation
‘Health Innovation’ is defined as new and existing Medicines, Interventions (both medical and non-medical), Medical Devices, E-Health Technologies, Information architecture/infrastructure (i.e. how information will be designed and used)
Patient & Public Involvement
Patients & the public need to be involved in the preparation of new policy documents, new research proposals, new innovative tools and treatments. Involvement (particularly early involvement) can ensure that all perspectives inform the direction of travel and that key decisions and initiatives are informed by people’s ‘lived experience’. It is likely that this involvement can build confidence in both the process and the decision.
Understand - ing Patient Data
‘Patient data’ is information that is recorded when you attend a health or social care professional such as a GP or social worker. The record can include details about your medical conditions, lists of medication you may be taking and also includes personal details such as date of birth.
