Renewal through Health Research: HRCI Position Paper 2021

On January 28th we launched our 2021 position paper: Renewal through health research.
It lays out a series of critical health research actions to help create a post-Covid Ireland where healthcare is world-class and based on evidence.
It calls for:

PPI integrated into health research policy
Thank you to all HRCI members whose views and experiences have helped shaped the recommendations within and to our many supportive collaborators.
We welcome you using it and sharing it, to help achieve our common goals.
