    Establishing the Innopharma Education Library
    (An Leabharlann, 2022-03) O'Connor. Colm
    Innopharma Education is an Irish owned education, research and technology institute with a focus on the pharmaceutical, MedTech and food industries. Established in 2010 as part of the Innopharma Group, over the past decade the College has become one of the top institutions serving these sectors in Ireland through strategic collaborations with partners. In cooperation with Griffith College and Technological University Dublin (formerly ITT Dublin), Innopharma Education has developed and delivered QQI validated and recognised qualifications, ranging from NFQ Level 6 Certificates to NFQ Level 9 Master of Science awards. Innopharma Education currently has approximately 1500 students enrolled on its programmes. In October 2020, Innopharma Education achieved success in Stage 1 of QQI’s Initial Access to Programme Validation process, gaining approval of its institutional capacity and quality assurance procedures. Subsequently, the College had its initial programme of education and training validated in September 2021, which is an NFQ Level 6 Higher Certificate in Process Digitisation. In between these events, in March 2021, a librarian was appointed to the College staff to establish a library service that would serve staff and students across its programmes. The librarian would be the sole librarian in the institution and would report to the Head of Teaching & Learning.
