Hi everyone,

I’m moving to Ireland in less than a month to start working as a pharmacist. I’ll first spend around 1–2 weeks training in a pharmacy, and then my recruiter will help place me in a full-time position (timeline still a bit uncertain).

I’d really appreciate any advice from pharmacists or anyone familiar with the Irish system.

Specifically:

What should I focus on learning before I arrive (clinical knowledge, guidelines, OTCs, software, etc.)?

What are the biggest differences compared to other countries’ pharmacy practice?

Any tips for the first few months working in an Irish community pharmacy?

Things you wish you knew before starting?

Also, any general life advice about settling into Ireland would be super helpful.

Thanks a lot in advanc
