Mike Scott led the workshop ‘ePharmacy & Medicines Optimisation’ at the eHealth Ireland & Northern Ireland Connected Health Ecosystems 2nd Joint Gathering on 12th January 2018 at the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Dublin.

The workshop gave an insight into the work being carried out within ePharmacy and Medicines Optimisation in the north and south of Ireland and the potential to improve patient care.  Mike outlined the work of MOIC in these areas and highlighted the European Connected Health Alliance Medicines Optimisation inter-ecosystem group.  The workshop was co-presented with Michael Fitzpatrick, Chief Pharmacist at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Dublin and attendees had the opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities experienced by those working in pharmacy.

The eHealth Ireland & Northern Ireland Connected Health Ecosystems 2nd Joint Gathering focused on “Exploring North/South cross border collaboration opportunities and the impact of the GDPR”.
