Great cohesive approach to #onehealthaction as evidenced in speakers at today’s #iNAP2 - BUT calling on @roinnslainte to appoint a Chief Pharmacist to lead national policy re medicines use @DonnellyStephen - a necessity to protect Irish users of meds @patient_for @IrishPatients

💯 need for chief pharmacist in DoH for strategic leadership. Must have responsibility for whole profession to ensure Irish pts benefit from optimum use of medicines across whole spectrum of acute & community settings (as per CPhO in our neighbouring countries) @IrishPharmacy

Not to mention that it’s on the shoulders of giants @DrNuala Martin Cormican, @robcunney @FfitzP @dfeatamr

Aisling Clancy, @maryevaregan, Shirley Armitage, @MalaShah11 , Catherine Mannion, @OliviaPharm, @foran_roisin, @sarahmlfagan, @magsdonnelly87 🍾🎉🎊👏👏👏

So so proud of the community antimicrobial pharmacists for their co-ordinated and individual efforts to improve antibiotic use in Older Persons services and their win last night! Immense support for this endeavor by AMRIC team & HSE Community Ops
