The IMPACT and Psoriasis Research User Group (RUG) is a group of individuals who have an active interest in psoriasis, either living with psoriasis themselves or living with someone who has psoriasis. The group has been established to ensure that the views of people with psoriasis are considered to both improve the quality of our research studies as well as making sure the work is beneficial, relevant and of a high standard.
INVOLVE was established in 1996 and is part of, and funded by, the National Institute for Health Research, to support active public involvement in NHS, public health and social care research. It is one of the few government funded programmes of its kind in the world. As a national advisory group our role is to bring together expertise, insight and experience in the field of public involvement in research, with the aim of advancing it as an essential part of the process by which research is identified, prioritised, designed, conducted and disseminated.
We are part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)
INHA’s vision is to support families affected by prematurity. This will be achieved by advocating increased awareness, improved pre-conceptual and ante-natal education, equitable and standardized neonatal care and improved long-term care for both the premature baby and the family.
Our objective, through consultation with global networks of prematurity groups, healthcare professionals, educators, political decision makers and industry stakeholders is to foster the exchange of information, provide education to healthcare professionals and families and with one collective voice, to provide the platform for a coordinated and integrated program of collaborative support in the field of neonatal care in Ireland.
