Overview  

The Northern Ireland Rare Disease Partnership was established as a “Not for Profit” Company and Registered Charity.  We bring together those living with a rare disease and organisations representing them, clinicians and other health professionals; researchers and producers of specialist medicines and equipment; health policymakers and academics. 

Our mission is to ensure no one is disadvantaged because of the rarity of their condition. 

The STP2 project will signpost those diagnosed or waiting to be diagnosed with a rare condition, their families and carers to existing services and work to identify and encourage provision where gaps exist in current support around mental health and well-being.  

Please see the job description for role specifics.
