Pharmaceutical Society Of Ireland

Pharmaceutical Society Of Ireland

[http://www.pharmaceuticalsociety.ie The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland] is the statutory body responsible for regulating of pharmacists and community pharmacies in the Republic of Ireland. It is also responsible for overseeing the training of new pharmacists. Registration with the Pharmaceutical Society (PSI) is essential in order to practice as a pharmacist or operate a pharmacy in Ireland.

The Education Unit of the PSI oversees the undergraduate education and pre-registration training of pharmacy students in the Irish schools of pharmacy at Trinity College, Dublin, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork to prepare them for registration as pharmacists.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) regulates the pharmacy profession in the public interest. Inspection is an important part of this task. The PSI employs inspectors to inspect pharmacies and, where necessary, to secure evidence of contravention of legislation controlling the supply of poisons and controlled preparations.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland publishes the Irish Pharmacy Journal (IPJ), the official journal of the Society.

Up to April 2007 the PSI's governing Council was elected by members of the society. The Pharmacy Act 2007 reformed the society so that now 9 members of the council are elected by members of the society and the balance are appointed by the Minister of Health and Children to represent various sections of the public and health community.

Current membership of the Council of the PSI, as appointed by the Minister, is as follows:
