The All Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Group would like to invite you and your members to attend a Patient and Public Interest Group (PAPIG) meeting which will be held online on June 18th between 9.30am and 11am.
Patient and Public Interest Group (PAPIG) is made up of patients, carers, patient advocates and third sector organisations. The group feeds their views via the All Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Group (AWTTC), who provide professional, technical and administrative support to the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG). One of the roles of AWMSG is to advise Welsh Government on whether new medicines should be available for use in NHS Wales.
You can find out more about our work in the patient section of our website, including information on PAPIG.Our next PAPIG meeting will be held online on June 18th and will include presentations on:
- Research Ethics Committees and how they protect the rights, safety and wellbeing of participants in clinical studies
- Enabling optometrists in Wales to prescribe medicines for treating urgent eye problems
- Blueteq: Speeding up access to specialised treatments, ensuring safety and providing consistent, evidence-based care for patients in Wales
We would very much like to hear the views and experiences of patients and carers and so there will be time for discussion and questions.
If you would like to join the next PAPIG meeting please register online or by emailing awttc@wales.nhs.uk.
