HPRA Call for Expert Input
The HPRA has issued an open call for external experts to provide clinical input in relation to clinical studies and scientific advice for new products under development, applications to market innovative medicines that offer new treatment options for patients, and any emerging quality or safety concerns in relation to medicines and medical devices on the market. This will provide clinical experts with an opportunity to develop a greater understanding of how health products are regulated nationally and in Europe, gain an insight into the development of innovative health products and contribute to ensuring that health products are safe and effective for patients.
We at the NCTO strongly encourage the contributions of external experts in relation to the following areas:
- Oncology and Haematology
- Cardiovascular, Endocrinology, Renal, Respiratory
- Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, Immunology, Dermatology
- Neurology, Pain and Psychiatry
- Infectious Diseases
- Ophthalmology
- Paediatrics and Geriatrics
- Clinical Pharmacology
- Diagnostic & Therapeutic
- Radiopharmaceuticals
Contributing to the over-all heath of the Clinical trials eco-system in Ireland and the EU is an ongoing mission for the NCTO and we are pleased to be able to support our colleges in the HPRA in this endeavour.
Further information, including details on how to apply, is available in the call for expressions of interest on the HPRA website Provision of clinical advice to the HPRA – call for expressions of interest.
