Irish Paramedicine Education & Research Network

The Irish Paramedicine Research and Education Network (IPERN) was founded in January 2021 as a collaborative effort to increase research capacity and educational opportunities in paramedicine in Ireland and internationally. IPERN strives to foster a strong research culture through education and mentorship in order to improve knowledge translation for out-of-hospital care. IPERN aims to facilitate paramedic research engagement and leadership by connecting stakeholders across the academic and clinical settings with an interest in mobile integrated healthcare. The IPERN team includes first responders, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, advanced paramedics, community paramedics, critical care paramedics, nurses, doctors, scientists, allied health professionals and patient representatives.
