EQUIPS: Evidence-based QUality Improvement and Patient Safety research network.
EQUIPS is a network of researchers, healthcare professionals, patients and public who are working together to enhance the patient safety and quality research we do in Ireland.
Many people are harmed every year in Irish healthcare; many others don’t get the quality of care they deserve. We do a lot very good research aimed at changing this, but we can do better if we connect the diverse stakeholders to:
- Link people with similar interests and complementary roles and expertise
- Effectively engage patients and the public in research
- Agree research priorities and strategies.
- Identify and address barriers to effective research.
- Build capability and capacity.
- Connect with international best practice.
Equips brings together the research capacity of Irish Universities with the knowledge users across the healthcare system to address these objectives. It is co-funded by the HSE and HRB.
