The Health Service Executive (HSE) has reached out to ShelfLife to highlight the fact that it is seeking retail staff members to complete a survey in relation to the paracetamol pack size sales legislation.

Call to action from the HSE

Are you a staff member in a pharmacy or retail setting?

Do you sell paracetamol to the public?

If yes, please consider completing a short survey, currently being conducted by a multi-sectorial Working Group* to Prevent Paracetamol-Related Intentional Drug Overdose.

Your response to this survey is welcome, regardless of whether or not you completed a previous survey last Autumn.

This current survey is building on the data collected last year and your repeat participation is encouraged.

This short, anonymous survey will help the HSE to:

• Explore your knowledge, perceptions, and experiences of paracetamol
  pack size sales legislation.
• Review the effectiveness of materials detailing paracetamol sales
  legislation.
• Identify ways to improve adherence to paracetamol sales legislation in
  retail and pharmacy sectors.
• The survey only takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Survey link – https://ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_232LDelULhyY0ia
