Statement by President of the PSI on the Death of Professor John Feely

Date: 15 June 2009

The President of the PSI (Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland), the regulatory body for pharmacy, has extended the sympathies of the organisation to the family of the late Professor John Feely, who has died.

Professor Feely was a member of the Council from May 2007 until last month when he resigned due to ill health. He had been appointed to the PSI by the Minister for Health and Children, Ms Harney and was Head of the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Trinity College Dublin.

Ms Noeleen Harvey, President of the PSI said, “John’s untimely death comes as a great shock to us all. He had given wonderful service to the PSI at a critical time, following the passage of new pharmacy legislation in 2007, the first major change in pharmacy legislation in a century, and a major modernisation of the law governing the regulation of pharmacists and pharmacy practice.

“John demonstrated his absolute commitment to ensuring that professions like pharmacy are well regulated, in the interests of patient safety and best practice, and public protection. He was a part of the history made in 2007 when for the first time, the Council of the Society included a non-pharmacist majority.”
