PSI (Pharmaceutical society of Ireland):

In Ireland, non-EU pharmacists who wish to practice as pharmacists must undergo an assessment process to demonstrate that their qualifications and experience meet the standards required for registration with the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI), the regulatory body for pharmacists in Ireland. Here’s a brief overview of the process:

Eligibility Assessment: Non-EU pharmacists must first undergo an eligibility assessment by the PSI to determine if their qualifications and experience are equivalent to those required for registration in Ireland. This assessment includes a review of academic qualifications, professional experience, and language proficiency.

Competency Assessment: If the eligibility assessment is successful, non-EU pharmacists must then undergo a competency assessment to evaluate their knowledge, skills, and competencies in pharmacy practice. The competency assessment may include written examinations, practical assessments, and/or interviews.

Preparation for Assessment: Non-EU pharmacists may choose to prepare for the competency assessment by undertaking additional training or refresher courses to familiarize themselves with Irish pharmacy practice standards, regulations, and guidelines.

Registration with the PSI: Upon successful completion of the competency assessment, non-EU pharmacists can apply for registration with the PSI. Registration allows them to practice as pharmacists in Ireland and is subject to ongoing professional development requirements.

It’s important to note that the specific requirements and procedures for non-EU pharmacists seeking registration in Ireland may vary, and individuals are advised to consult the PSI website or contact the PSI directly for the most up-to-date information and guidance on the registration process. Additionally, non-EU pharmacists may also need to meet immigration and visa requirements to live and work in Ireland.
