A working group which is led by the Department of Health, the HSE National Office for Suicide Prevention (NOSP), and National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF) – with membership including the IPU, PSI, and the HPRA is promoting an educational campaign targeted at staff in pharmacy and retail settings to remind them of the restrictions on the sales of paracetamol-containing medications.
As part of this campaign, information packs are available to order or download. They contain informative posters and postcards suitable for display in staff areas or noticeboards. They also contain shelf-riders/stickers that might be suitable for public-facing or staff-facing display units where paracetamol-containing products are displayed.

Two versions of information packs are available – for Pharmacy and non-Pharmacy retail settings here.
