"The new European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy, agreed with patients and other healthcare professionals at the European level, have set very clear challenges for hospital pharmacy in Ireland, particularly in respect to delivering optimised and seamless patient care. We will continue to work with DOH, HSE and hospital management to progress the implementation of the 2011 Report on the Review of Hospital Pharmacy. It is through the implementation of the structures agreed in the Report that these ambitious goals for better patient care will be achieved.’’
Nuala Doyle, Hospital Pharmacy Ireland
"The hospital environment can be a frightening experience for patients, who may find themselves in a vulnerable position, ill, worried or in pain, but they can now count on hospital pharmacists to support them. During their recent Brussels Summit, EAPH worked together with key stakeholders to produce a ground breaking Statement that will ensure patients get the best possible care from their hospital pharmacists. This could be life-saving."
Hildrun Sundseth, The European Institute of Womens Health
