I am a pharmacy owner or would like to open a pharmacy

Pharmacies are required to register as a retail pharmacy business (RPB) with the PSI to operate legally in Ireland.

Welcome to practice supports, where we bring together information about specific practice topics into one central location. Our resources are designed to help pharmacists and pharmacies uphold the highest standards of pharmacy practice, ensuring patient safety and wellbeing.   

The PSI conducts various types of inspections to ensure compliance with pharmacy and medicines legislation as well as the PSI guidance.  These inspections aim to protect patients and the wider public by ensuring safe and effective pharmacy practice.
