Front Cover Picture
Our front cover picture has been inspired by the theme of the British
Pharmaceutical Conference, which took place in Manchester this week. Our
reports highlight the address by the President,
Marshall Davies, who told Health Minister David Lammy that pharmacists
must receive support and have a degree of certainty in their future if
they are to take on roles envisaged for them in NHS plans.
The President also brought delegates up to date with developments in the
Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s modernisation programme (PDF

Another highlight was “Chief
pharmacists’ question time”, where the chief pharmacists
of England, Scotland and Wales were questioned by conference delegates,
who heard that patient safety is pharmacists’ raison d’être.
We also carry this week the Science Chairman’s address (PDF
