New to Practice Resource
Welcome to the New to Practice Resource. This resource aims to support new registrants - particularly those who have obtained their qualifications outside Ireland - in developing an understanding of the legal and ethical framework governing pharmacy practice in Ireland. As each section includes links to additional reading, you may find it helpful to work through the resource over time.
