Chemist given censure for year

A pharmacist will have his work closely monitored for the next 12 months after being censured by the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland over his poor professional performance.

Jeremiah Blake, who runs a pharmacy in Ballymore Eustace, Co Kildare, had six adverse findings made against him following a hearing of the PSI’s professional conduct committee in April.

The PSI Council has ruled that several conditions must be attached to Mr Blake’s continuing registration as a pharmacist.
