Monthly Statistics

Each month we publish data and statistics from the Pharmacist, Pharmaceutical Assistant and Pharmacy Registers.

PSI - The Pharmacy Regulator is tasked with protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of patients and the public, by regulating pharmacists and pharmacies in Ireland. Read more about the PSI’s role and functions.

The PSI publishes a summary at the start of each month of the data from the Pharmacist, Pharmaceutical Assistant and Pharmacy Registers on an open access basis (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0) on this webpage and on data.gov.ie.  As part of our ongoing commitment to the Government’s Open Data Strategy, the PSI has appointed an Open Data Liaison Officer, who can be reached at opendata@psi.ie to assist you with any open data related queries.
