Front Cover Picture
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society is sending out its videotape “Introducing
CPD” to all working members this week. The video will be closely
followed by CPD packs that will be sent to 5,000 pharmacists taking part
in the Society’s CPD pilot. This week’s front cover picture
illustrates a news
feature that looks at the videotape, the CPD pack and some unanswered
questions about CPD.
An article in
the Society section answers some frequently asked questions about CPD.

that would mean the effective ending of direct supervision by pharmacists
of the supply of all medicines within community pharmacy. In a news
feature, Jonathan Buisson seeks opinions on how the proposal might
work and what concerns pharmacists have.
