Research Launch: Our Lives, Our Meds, Our Health: Exploring medication safety through a social lens

This exploratory research was commissioned by the DoH Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG) (formerly HSCB) as part of the Transforming Medication Safety in Northern Ireland plan (TMSNI). It is the first research of its kind in Northern Ireland which addresses the literature gap on the social circumstances which impact medication safety. Using a participatory methodology, the research successfully gathered people’s lived experiences on medication use by engaging with and involving communities in the research design, delivery, and analysis of the findings.   

The event is an opportunity hear the research findings, acknowledge the contributions of the collaborators and participants, and to discuss the relevance of the findings.  Opening remarks will be provided by Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, Cathy Harrison.
