Today we were delighted to welcome back the members of our Patient Forum for our last meeting of the year. Colleagues from the @PSIRegulator also joined us for the discussions.
We focussed on objectives for next year and looked at what key topics would be most effective for our workplan in 2025.
This forum is an invaluable platform for us at the HPRA and we would like to thank all our members for their great contributions this year. We look forward to working together next year.
