Disclosure Policy

The Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland operates to a general principle of disclosure

The Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland works on a general presumption of openness in terms of requests for information made to us from pharmacists, the public, stakeholders, academics, Government Departments and agencies, law enforcement agencies and journalists. Additionally, the Freedom of Information Publication Scheme aims to make publications readily accessible on the www.psni.org.uk website on a continuous basis.

However certain kinds of information may need to be withheld where a legislative exemption applies (e.g. Data Protection Act provisions) or the public interest is not served by the release of information.

For more information about how about information requests and our general disclosure policy, please visit the Disclosure Policy Frequently Asked Questions section of the website.

If you are a complainant or registrant involved in a Fitness to Practise case, more information on our disclosure procedures during Fitness to Practise cases is available here.
