Front Cover Picture
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Council is seeking the views of members on mandatory
continuing professional development. This week’s front cover picture (by Christopher Icha)
draws attention to a consultation document that is published as a centre page pull-out (PDF 165K) in
this week’s Journal. The document explains the current proposals relating to who will be
subject to CPD and how they will be affected. A survey to ascertain members’ views will
be distributed with next week’s Journal.
