FINPEDMED is a Finnish national network of pediatric clinical researchers, founded in 2007 and jointly maintained by Finland's university hospitals and hosted by HUS. The non-profit network promotes the development and safe use of medicines, medical devices and other treatments for children and young people in Finland, while avoiding unnecessary paediatric research. It offers free expert and consultation services for clinical trial planning and implementation, helps match trial sponsors with researchers and research units, and supports patient and family involvement in research. Its members are paediatricians and other specialists working in university and other hospitals and private clinics. The network also coordinates with the NORDICPEDMED network and the European Enpr-EMA network, and provides training, information and materials such as consent templates and picture cards.
