medicines.ie ePI Summit Recap: Advancing the Future of Medicines Information Together
The future of medicines information took center stage in Dublin as industry leaders, regulators, healthcare professionals, and technology experts came together for the first-ever medicines.ie ePI Summit. The event provided a unique forum in Ireland to explore how electronic Product Information (ePI) can transform the way medicines information is created, managed, and accessed.
Advancing ePI Across Ireland and Beyond
Held at The Leinster Hotel in the heart of Dublin, the medicines.ie ePI Summit welcomed a full house of pharmaceutical industry leaders, regulators, healthcare professionals, and patient representatives. Across keynote presentations and expert panels, attendees exchanged insights on the developments shaping the ePI landscape and the steps needed to build a more connected and accessible future for medicines information.
The strong engagement throughout the day highlighted the significant progress already being made across Europe while also underscoring the work that still lies ahead. A particular focus was the revised EU pharmaceutical legislation and what it means for the transition towards ePI. Rather than looking only at regulatory requirements, the event made clear how organizations can prepare for this shift in practice.
AI was another recurring theme. As it continues to transform how people search for and consume information, speakers and attendees alike examined both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with this evolution.
What brought an important dimension to the medicines.ie ePI Summit was the patient perspective. Beyond systems, processes, and implementation strategies, participants were reminded of the people who rely on medicines information every day. The insights reinforced that while ePI is often viewed through a regulatory and technical lens, its success will ultimately be measured by the value it delivers to patients
Driving Progress Through Collaboration
Taken together, the insights shared throughout the day demonstrated that ePI is more than a regulatory initiative. It represents an opportunity to rethink how medicines information is created, managed, and delivered, ensuring it better serves the needs of patients, healthcare professionals, regulators, and industry alike.
As part of cormeo, we are particularly proud to see medicines.ie establish a platform for this important dialogue in Ireland. The enthusiasm and engagement throughout the event highlighted both the importance of ePI and the value of bringing stakeholders from across the healthcare ecosystem together to exchange knowledge and help shape the future of medicines information.
