Governance

The Association’s organisational structure revolves around multiple Working Groups, each strategically designed to foster collaboration, promote best practices, facilitate learning opportunities, and support the ongoing professional development, education, and research endeavours of its members. To fulfil its objectives, the IAPC offers a range of structured activities, including networking opportunities, knowledge sharing, educational initiatives, advocacy for evidence-based research, publication endeavours, participation in national committees, and influence on the formulation of national policies.

On the international stage, the IAPC maintains a robust alignment with the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC). Crucially, the insights and contributions of the IAPC’s Working Groups serve as a cornerstone for the strategic direction and policy decisions undertaken by the Board. This collaborative approach underscores the IAPC’s prominent position as the foremost collective voice for palliative care within Ireland.
