Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

The Role of Pharmacy Care in the Healthcare System: Irish Pharmacy Union

Dr. Susan O'Dwyer:

Individual healthcare professionals would feed into it. The patients would have the choice. They could express a preference for a particular pharmacy and ask the relevant pharmacist to take the prescription and dispense it. That prescription would then come to the patient's local pharmacy to be dispensed. The idea would be that there would be access to that e-dispensation so that if that patient then goes into hospital, the hospital pharmacist can look at the information and see the patient's medication on the medication list.
