P+NPharmacy NetworkConnecting Irish Pharmacy Professionals
The 2-minute explainer

One platform where all of Irish pharmacy finds each other.

Think LinkedIn meets Indeed โ€” built only for Irish pharmacy. Pharmacies find staff in minutes instead of days. Professionals find work that fits their life. No agency in the middle, no commission, ever.

The problem

Staffing is the biggest headache in Irish pharmacy

๐Ÿ“ž

The phone-around

A pharmacist calls in sick and the owner spends the morning ringing agencies and half-remembered numbers while the queue builds.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Agency costs

Recruitment agencies charge thousands per placement and margins on every locum day โ€” because they own the phone numbers, not because they add value.

๐Ÿ“„

CV ping-pong

Professionals email the same CV, cert scans and reference letters over and over. Nobody knows who's actually available, where, or when.

The fix

Three ideas that make it work

1

The Pharmacy Passport

Every professional builds one living profileโ€” PSI registration, vaccination training, dispensing systems, counties they'll work, availability calendar, rates, references, documents. Apply to anything in one tap; the pharmacy sees everything it needs instantly. No more CV emails.

2

Instant matching & the emergency button

A pharmacy posts a shift and every suitable, available professional in the county gets a notification on their phoneโ€” scored by fit, distance, systems and reliability. For sick-day panics there's an Emergency Cover button: first suitable professional to accept is booked automatically. Cover in minutes, zero phone calls.

3

Trust & Reliability scores

The reason pharmacies tolerate agencies is the replacement promise. We solve it with technology instead: every professional has a reliability score built from completed shifts, cancellations, punctuality and ratings โ€” and if someone cancels, the platform automatically rebroadcasts the shift to every suitable replacement. Both sides rate each other after every shift.
