Short description

The International Review of CPD Models recommended the Establishment of an Institute of Pharmacy, as the most appropriate structure to oversee the CPD system on behalf of the Council of the PSI. The Irish Institute of Pharmacy (IIOP) was established by the PSI in order to deliver a CPD system for Pharmacists as described. The “IIOP” was not designed or intended to be a separate legal entity but rather is the construct and name under which the contracting body will deliver the suite of services as required by the PSI.
The primary purpose of the Institute is to oversee the management and support mechanisms for CPD and the commissioning of required education and training programmes in line with national policy and evolving healthcare needs. The Institute also assures the quality of a multiple training provider system, and contributes to the development of pharmacy practice in line with international best practice and evolving healthcare needs.
