@IrishPharmacy @NOSPIreland @pcdodd @NSRFIreland

Ireland must take action to reduce the improper disposal of medicines. We are advocating for the establishment of a nationwide Disposal of Unused Medicines Properly (DUMP) scheme, to limit what it describes as serious health and environmental risks. Read➡️bit.ly/3XybFup

Important call from @IrishPharmacy for national roll out of DUMP Evidence highlights that drugs most often returned via DUMP are those most often used in overdose A national DUMP campaign is a much needed means restriction intervention. Its absence reflects a missed opportunity

Autonomy, space for discovery, skills development and collegiality all highlighted as essential for scientists/academics to flourish Verification and readership important to consider when we initiate research communication @UKRIO

*New publication* Several of the team co-authored a paper in the Irish Journal of Med Science led by @grace_cully! ▶️Importance of comprehensive assessment of all who present with self-harm ▶️Need for comprehensively resourced 24hr services in the ED ℹ️ tinyurl.com/ybjpwf7v

We’re looking to speak to adolescents and young adults who have been bereaved by suicide (15-24 years) as part of a research study. Please share among your networks - for anyone based in Ireland tinyurl.com/33we4f3m

@maria_quinlan spoke about how research is often not neutral, that it occurs in a context where funding and opportunity is not open to all. Marias experience with PPI was summed up in saying 'we were like family by the end'. Info on Photovoice: journals.lww.com/wpsy/fulltext/… 4/4

Dr Lydia Sapouna noted the utility of frameworks when applying PPI. Also Lydia asked us to acknowledge tensions, chaotic narratives and to embrace the messiness in participation which creates important balance. Info on Critical Voices conference: ucc.ie/en/nursingmidw… 3/4

Great day at @NSRFIreland @PPI_Ignite_UCC #MovingForwardTogether workshop. Kicked off by @DrLeahQuinlivan who cited the transformational impact that PPI involvement has for individuals and shared the coming soon toolkit for involvement. ➡️Info at: sites.manchester.ac.uk/ms4mh-r/ 1/4

💊 The Paracetamol working group led by the DoH and with key stakeholder representation, is currently working to improve awareness of and adherence to paracetamol sales guidelines in pharmacy and retail settings. Please complete the anonymous survey ➡️ bit.ly/3w4ySZY

Do you work in a pharmacy and sell paracetamol products to the public? Please take a few minutes to complete this short online survey, which will help research the safe sale of paracetamol in Ireland. The survey is anonymous.
