All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care (AIIHPC)
All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care (AIIHPC) is a leading organisation with national and international influence driving excellence in palliative care. AIIHPC is a collaborative of hospices, health and social care organisations and universities on the island of Ireland. AIIHPC advances education, research and practice to improve the palliative care experience of people with life limiting conditions and their families.
‘Improving the palliative care experience across the island of Ireland’
- Integrating palliative care research, education and practice development in the health and social care systems across the island of Ireland
- Partnering with users, carers and communities to ensure that palliative care provision meets their needs and continues to do so
- Supporting the development of specialist palliative care to meet the current and emerging demands of the health system
The Palliative Hub
The Palliative Hub is coordinated by AIIHPC to act as a gateway to information and resources about palliative care on the island of Ireland and further afield.
Palliative Care Research Network (PCRN)
In 2012 we created the Palliative Care Research Network (PCRN) with support from the Health Research Board (HRB) in Ireland and the Health and Social Care R&D, Public Health Agency (HSC R&D, PHA) in Northern Ireland. This network includes leading researchers from our partner organisations who focus on palliative care research that has high impact, builds research capacity and drives collaboration. The Palliative Care Research Network (PCRN) also incorporates the Early Career Researcher Forum (ECRF) that was launched in 2013 in collaboration with the Irish Association for Palliative Care (IAPC). This forum provides support for researchers and clinicians from all disciplines on the island of Ireland who consider themselves in the early and mid-stage of their research career in palliative care.
