Inaugural EQUIPS event

On 2nd October, we held our first in-person event at Trinity College Dublin. The aim of the event was to provide a networking space for a diverse set of stakeholders interested in Quality and Patient Safety (QPS) research in Ireland.

Principal Investigator, Prof Sam Cromie, and Lead Knowledge User and co-sponsor, Dr Orla Healy, opened the event, setting the scene for the day, by detailing the vision for, and their role in EQUIPS.

Prof Paul Bowie from University of Staffordshire delivered a keynote talk on Human Factors applied to healthcare quality and safety.

One of EQUIPS’ Patient Partners, Anne Lawlor, shared her journey as a patient advocate, and the role research has played in it to date.

The day was such a success that it became one of TCD’s top news stories! Read the article here.

Many thanks to those in the Ops Team and wider network who helped pull the day together!

The Practicalities of QPS Research

At the Inaugural In-Person Event, a panel discussion was held on ‘The Practicalities of QPS Research’ . Joining the earlier speakers of the day on the panel were Dr Teresa Maguire (HRB), Dr Olga Cleary (HSE Research & Development), Dr Padraig Carroll (PPI Ignite, TCD). We hope to continue this theme in a series of ‘Winter Webinars’ – keep an eye on your emails, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn for more details.
