What we help you with

We have all heard the horror stories.

Pharmacists having horrible starts to their working career, when they have just moved countries.

They struggle to use the computer system effectively .

They are unsure what community drug scheme applies to a patient.

They struggle to understand what rules apply to community drug schemes.

They are unsure what legislation really applies to certain scenarios like emergency supplies.All these things add up and make it even harder for pharmacists who are starting out to be called back for locums.Or even worse barred from working in places because an owner was annoyed with them over patient complaints.

At Excellent Pharmacist Academy, we know that a lot of pharmacists who have qualified from outside of Ireland have the requisite clinical skills to act as a pharmacist.

The Irish pharmacy system is very complex in comparison to other European countries.

A lot of pharmacists struggle in their early days trying to learn all the government medicines schemes for patients and the rules associated with them which is necessary to ensure payment for your employer.

Pharmacists new to Ireland will also need to be aware of all the legislation regulating pharmacy in Ireland and lack of proper training can:

  • affect self-confidence in the early days of employment,
  • cause financial losses to your employer,
  • also affect your patient interactions

We know that having complete knowledge and reference tools help reduce these instances but also boosts the confidence of the pharmacist and better satisfaction all round by all involved.
