  • Protect, maintain and promote the health and safety of the public
  • Maintain registers of pharmacists and pharmacies  
  • Inspect pharmacy practices and enforce pharmacy legislation
  • Draw up codes of conduct for pharmacists
  • Promote and ensure high standards of education and training, including continuing education in pharmacy  
  • Conduct inquiries to determine “fitness to practise” and “fitness to operate”  
  • Process complaints relating to pharmacy practice and operation  
  • Act as the registration authority for pharmacists wishing to practise in Ireland who have obtained their qualification outside of Ireland and the EU  
  • Act as the competent authority for mutual recognition of qualifications from other EU countries
  • Oversee the quality assurance and application of best practice across the sector
