The IPU Medicines Shortages Survey is now live here. This survey is open to all registered pharmacists in Ireland and will remain open till Thursday, February 29. This is one of the most important surveys that the IPU runs every year, and the results of the survey will help support the IPU’s advocacy work. Last year’s survey allowed the IPU to advocate for the introduction of a medicine substitution protocol, which is currently being legislated for within the Health Miscellaneous Bill.
Given the significant impact of medicine shortages on community pharmacists and the patients we serve, we are encouraging members to take the time to complete the survey and provide us with the much-needed information so that we can advocate for change.
