Who Are We?
The Irish Institute of Pharmacy (IIOP) is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of a system of continuing professional development (CPD) for pharmacists in Ireland. The IIOP is responsible for ensuring that these developments meet the emerging needs of patients and the wider healthcare system. It oversees the management and support mechanisms for CPD, and accredits and commissions education and training programmes in line with national policy, evolving healthcare needs and the needs of the profession.
The IIOP also progresses the development of pharmacy practice in line with international best practice and ensures that it continues to maintain and build upon its position at the forefront of healthcare delivery. The IIOP is funded by the Department of Health and the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI).
The IIOP offers a range of services and resources to its members, including continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities, publications, events, and networking opportunities. It also works closely with other professional organisations in Ireland and internationally to promote the pharmacy profession and improve patient care.
