Front Cover Picture
This week's front cover picture (by Christopher Icha) illustrates how
the profession of pharmacy has been caught up by the new broom that is
sweeping through all the health professions. An article in our "Agenda
for 2002" section (PDF*,
60K) examines the challenges for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. The
debate continues in two Broad Spectrum articles on p644
and p645.
In "The Society" section we also publish some questions
and answers that have been regularly raised at branches when Royal
Pharmaceutical Society staff and Council members have talked about the
implications of modernisation, as well as legal opinion about who owns
the Society's assets.
