What the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland does
The Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland is the regulatory and professional body for pharmacists in Northern Ireland.
It protects public safety in pharmacy by:
- setting and promoting standards for pharmacists' admission to the register and for remaining on the register;
- maintaining a publicly accessible register of pharmacists, and pharmacy premises;
- handling concerns about the Fitness to Practise of registrants, acting as a complaints portal and taking action to protect the public; and
- ensuring high standards of education and training for pharmacists in Northern Ireland.
As the professional body it seeks to develop the pharmacy profession in Northern Ireland in the public interest. In future, this role will be conducted by a Professional Forum.
