Incredibly sad to hear of the tragic loss of Sarah. 💔 Thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones. A privilege to work with her, a kind, intelligent, modest and all-round outstanding colleague, not to mention so many contributions to patient safety @IMSN_ie and @AntibioticPresc

Great cohesive approach to #onehealthaction as evidenced in speakers at today’s #iNAP2 - BUT calling on @roinnslainte to appoint a Chief Pharmacist to lead national policy re medicines use @DonnellyStephen - a necessity to protect Irish users of meds @patient_for @IrishPatients

💯 need for chief pharmacist in DoH for strategic leadership. Must have responsibility for whole profession to ensure Irish pts benefit from optimum use of medicines across whole spectrum of acute & community settings (as per CPhO in our neighbouring countries) @IrishPharmacy

The IPU is calling for the appointment of a Chief Pharmacy Officer as a matter of priority. Ireland is out of line with countries like the US and UK who employ such a person.
