2. IPPOSI? Who?IPPOSI
A patient-led organisation
that works with patients,
government, industry,
& science to put patients at the
heart of health innovation
3. Our Priorities
20
Actively advocate for improved + equitable
patient access to Health Innovation
Promote meaningful patient involvement in
Health Research and Policy
5. Roles change as a result of EUPATI
course
- creating patient leaders
Role Before EUPATI After
Member of patient organisation, not actively involved 17% 2%
Active role in a patient organisation 62% 71%
Leadership role in a patient organisation 62% 71%
Employee of a patient organisation 25% 23%
Volunteer role in a patient organisation 60% 67%
Presenting at conferences, workshops etc. 63% 83%
Advising a pharmaceutical company 13% 44%
Advising a regulatory agency 21% 42%
Advising a reimbursement agency 4% 8%
EUPATI Fellows are increasingly taking leadership roles and are engaging with
pharma, regulators and HTA bodies.
Role changes also imply identity shifts.

Editor's Notes
A patient-led platform that provides a structured way of facilitating interaction between patients, government, industry, science and academia to put patients at the heart of policy and medicines development. In pursuit of this we hold workshops, discussion groups, training days and conferences on policy, legislation and regulation around the development of new medicines, products, devices and diagnostics for unmet medical needs.
The different levels in which Patient Organisations and patient representatives can get involved in the clinical trial process
These are examples of points in time when patient insights and engagement would be sought by multiple stakeholders
This is to demonstrate patient involvement is reality and is in practice, not some funky new idea that may be done in the future!
The Clinical Strategy & Programmes Division of the HSE initiated the Patient Narrative Project to partner with users of healthcare services in the design and delivery of these services.
The Patient Narrative Project is a three phase project to progress to partnership working
listened to the experiences of people who have had to use multiple health services over time or at one time and through the words of the service users and caregivers developed a set of statements that clearly articulate what users of the Irish health service expect from services and staff.
In addition a definition of person-centred co-ordinated care that is written not just for the experts, but for patients, people, families and carers
The goal is that the descriptors + definition of what good care and support that is centred around the needs and preferences of the service user/patient looks and feels like for people will be adopted nationally. They will be used to guide policy, strategy and design, and act as a guide to what teams at local levels should be aiming to achieve practically, in their efforts to integrate services around patient, family and carer needs.
There are three themes of descriptors:
‘Care for me’ focused on the direct relational experience with healthcare professionals.
‘Care I am confident in’ refers to the actual experience of care in terms of skills, quality, accountability and continuity of care.
‘Care in my journey through healthcare’ represents care that is holistic, accessible at a time needed and takes account of the world of the person and their carer beyond what was traditionally considered health care, but where health has an impact (e.g. education, working life)
Health services in Ireland are including patient voices in decision making to a greater extent now than ever before. The HSE’s National Strategy for Service User Involvement 2008-2013, the National Patients Forum, the National Patient Experience Survey and the IPPOSI-led Patient Narrative project are examples. Furthermore, the Department of Health is working with IPPOSI and other relevant patient-led organisations in areas such as rare diseases, dementia and others.
