Monthly Statistics
Each month we publish data and statistics from the Pharmacist, Pharmaceutical Assistant and Pharmacy Registers.
PSI - the Pharmacy Regulator is tasked with protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of patients and the public, by regulating pharmacists and pharmacies in Ireland. Read more about our role and functions.
