The Medicines Optimisation Innovation Centre (MOIC) is Northern Ireland’s leading hub for advancing how medicines are used to improve patient outcomes. As Europe’s only dedicated medicines optimisation centre, we combine pharmaceutical expertise, innovative research, technology, and business insight to create impactful solutions.
With a patient-centred focus, MOIC addresses the challenges of ageing populations and complex medicine regimens. We lead the way in developing and sharing best practices, collaborating with healthcare providers, academia, and industry across Europe and beyond. Our work not only strengthens Northern Ireland’s health and social care system but also creates opportunities for global commercial impact.
What We Do
At MOIC, we drive innovation in medicines optimisation through:
- Research and service development projects to improve patient care
- Knowledge transfer of novel pharmacy systems across Europe
- Developing integrated technology solutions to promote smarter medicines use and better health outcomes
- Offering training and development programmes for healthcare professionals from other countries, short and long term.
Based at an innovation and education facility within the Northern Trust, MOIC develops and tests solutions tailored to Northern Ireland’s needs, with the potential for international commercialisation. We welcome partnerships with commercial organisations to co-create solutions that transform healthcare globally.
