Welcome to the ISPE Ireland Affiliate

About the Ireland Affiliate

The Ireland Affiliate was established in 1989 along with a number of European affiliates of the U.S. based organisation. Membership is open to all technical professionals involved in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.

The affiliate currently has over 750 registered members from over 100 companies and continues to grow.

The affiliate was voted Affiliate of the Year in 1999 in recognition of its exciting programme of events and growing membership.

The objectives of the affiliate are to:

• Provide continuing education for technical professionals in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries
• Act as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information on regulatory, safety and other requirements
• Promote the interests of engineers and other professionals involved in technical disciplines related to the pharmaceutical and medical device industrie
• Foster and encourage favourable relations among its members and related professions
• Provide an opportunity for open discussion with Regulatory Authorities
  

The affiliate is managed by an elected committee, consisting of representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, engineering companies and vendor companies that service the industry.

The committee is made up of a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, treasurer and elected members. Ad hoc sub-committees may be formed to address specific issues or organise events.

Each year the committee organises a full and varied programme of events consisting of visits to pharmaceutical and medical device companies, seminars and workshops on topics of interest to the industry, visits to exhibitions and an annual dinner. The Annual General Meeting is usually held in October, at which a new committee is elected.
