About

The Irish Patients Association's Mission is to keep the patient at the centre of the healthcare system. It does this by advocating for the needs of patients to be paramount while working in partnership with health providers.

Through contact with patients, their families, and their carers, the Irish Patients Association (IPA) keeps abreast of ongoing and emerging patient needs. The Association addresses various committees, working groups, and public bodies on behalf of patients.

The IPA is primarily a voluntary organisation; it retains a limited number of permanent staff and can only advocate the issues of individual patients or carers in very special cases. 

 
To the public, the Association functions principally as a source of information and guidance, helping them navigate the complex bureaucracy of the health system.

The Irish Patients Association also undertakes research projects, presenting the results to government, health sector organisations and representative bodies in order to further their mission. The results of their research are also made available through their website.
