Let’s chat about medicines!

The aim of this event is to empower people with intellectual disability (ID) about medicine use. We will chat with attendees about medicines use in people with intellectual disability. It will be an interactive event with fun games and group discussions on the use and impact of medicines, guided by findings from the EQUIP research project using IDS-TILDA data. The workshop will build capacity in those who attend by building understanding of their medications and how to talk to their GP about their medications. We also want to build relationships between people with ID and researchers to enable future PPI collaboration.

This research project included PPI contributors with intellectual disabilities, and they will also be participating in this event to help share the results of this study. Also, this event has been planned with the help of the Trinity Centre for Ageing and Intellectual Disability’s (TCAID) PPI panel members, who have co-designed activities for the workshop, the agenda for the day, and the title of the event.

Tea/coffee and treats will be provided. A certificate will be awarded to each attendee. Easy read information will be provided for attendees to take home.
