PSI Information Meetings Spring 2013
February 13, 2013
The PSI (Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland), the pharmacy regulator, will be organising a series of information meetings about its pharmacy education and training reform programme, which all pharmacist are invited to attend.
Please find details below on the dates and venues for the meetings in Dublin at the end of February, and around the country in mid-March, and how to book your attendance.
These meetings will offer an overview of the key developments
• the five-year integrated Masters qualification for practice
• the core competency framework for pharmacists and
• the CPD model which will be introduced via the new Irish Institute of Pharmacy
The meetings also aim to facilitate discussion with pharmacists about how these developments will impact on them and their professional practice in the near future, and the opportunities for the future development of the profession.
These meetings will provide an opportunity for pharmacists to ask questions and share their views on the various initiatives, and contribute to and shape the ongoing implementation work.
Your feedback will be important in informing the next steps of the implementation of the various initiatives.
We look forward to seeing you at the meetings which mark the beginning of the next phase of engagement with the profession on these important developments.
If you cannot attend, there will be opportunities to receive the information presented at the meetings once they are completed, and to give your feedback and contribution on these important issues through other means of engagement over the coming months.
