Regulatory Science Ireland connects with Cork Pharmaceutical Industry
The ever-increasing complexity of health care products requires a data driven, evidence based approach to their regulation. Regulatory Science Ireland (RSI) is a national response to these developments, and held a seminar on Tuesday September 8th in Cork to strengthen links with the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device industry.
RSI鈥檚 mission is to unite stakeholders- including Academia, Pharmaceutical and Medtech industries, the Regulator and Government agencies- in the pursuit of an integrated Irish response to global Regulatory Science initiatives. By utilising a scientific approach from a range of scientific disciplines, RSI will assist in informing regulatory decision making throughout the lifecycle of a medicine and medical devices.
Dr Frank Hallinan, Adjunct Professor from UCC鈥檚 School of Pharmacy, chaired a round-table Q&A session in which RSI鈥檚 role in facilitating Irish contributions to an effective response to the increasing complexity of health care products and their associated regulatory systems, in addition to creating a cohort of Irish based regulatory science experts was discussed. 鈥淭he benefits of RSI are diverse and wide-ranging. Our seminar will not only facilitate Irish contributions to an effective response to the increasing complexity of Health Care Products and their associated Regulatory System it further strengthens the value proposition of Ireland as an attractive location for Health Care Product related activities.鈥
The seminar also heard from Dr Kevin O鈥橠onnell, Health Products Regulatory Authority, about the RSI Quality Research Project, 鈥榞enerating knowledge from defect data鈥 whilst Professor Caitriona O鈥橠riscoll from UCC鈥檚 School of Pharmacy outlined RSI鈥檚 mission, progress and future plans to attendees.
