VOTERS in the Republic of Ireland will head to the polls on Sat, and the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) is getting politically active, calling on individual candidates in each constituency to pledge their support for the profession, rather than seeking letters of support from parties.
Using the hashtag #SupportPharmacy, the IPU is outlining the impact pharmacies have on each region, providing data on the number of pharmacies, direct jobs, indirect jobs and the impact the profession has on the local economy.
The campaign also notes "Irish Pharmacists are underutilised - we can play a greater role in the health service".
