Fórsa is inviting hospital pharmacy technicians to take part in a short survey evaluating their experience in their role.

Fórsa, in collaboration with the National Association of Hospital Pharmacy Technicians (NAHPT), is currently preparing a position paper arguing in favour of statutory regulation for hospital pharmacy technicians in the Republic of Ireland.

Regulation will provide Hospital Pharmacy Technicians with better protections for their role, a consistent standard for education and training, and align practise codes for patient safety with that of Pharmacists.

The survey sets out to provide members and potential members with an opportunity to provide input into the position paper by sharing their experience in the role.

Information collected from the survey will be anonymised unless otherwise stated and will be aggregated and used to outline the attitudes and opinions of Hospital Pharmacy Technicians.

Members can complete the survey HERE.

The survey will run until Monday 24th April at 1pm and you are welcome to share it widely with colleagues.

If you have any questions in relation to this survey, please contact Juliette Cooper.
