2nd All Island Medication Safety Conference – 27th November 2026, Belfast Met, Titanic.
The theme of the conference for 2026 is Medication Safety for all Generations: Practice and Innovation across the Island.
The Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG) of Department of Health and the Irish Medication Safety Network (IMSN) have worked in collaboration to organise the 2nd All Island Medication Safety Conference and aims to bring together primary and secondary healthcare professionals, pharmacists, medics, nurses, Allied Health Professionals, and other stakeholders with an interest in Medication Safety to build new collaborations and extend research networks.
The first of these biennial all island collaborations took place in Dublin November 2024.
The conference will feature presentations from national and international experts in the field and participants will be encouraged to share their research, demonstrate interventions, and propose new collaborations and present new methodologies in Medication Safety.
The event in the context of description and research aims to provide the opportunity for people involved in medication safety research, education, advocacy, practice and policy north and south of the border to share learning and build relationships.
The partners involved aim to build on their existing relationships and collaboration to reach more professionals, patients and managers across the island of Ireland.
The overarching objective of the conference is to support, develop and implement a collaborative approach to Medication Safety through the following 4 objectives:
- Communication: To develop an all-island communication network to ensure synergy and effective communication
