Pharma Managers Series – Update on Ireland’s Digital Strategy

Unfortunately, Covid is still making its presence felt in the community just now.  With the current spike in Covid numbers and concerns from our members about being in room with a lot of other people, we’ve taken the decision to move the breakfast planned for 31st March online. 

 Joining us will be Prof Martin Curley, Director of Innovation with the HSE.  Martin will be giving us an update on the Stay Left, Shift Left 10X campaign along with an update on Ireland’s Digital Strategy.   He’ll also give an overview of some of the collaborative projects that have been undertaken over the last 12 months and what is currently being worked on alongside our industry.
