A welcome reception was held at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's London headquarters on October 28 for members of the Australian Institute of Pharmacy Management at the start of a 12-day AIPM visit to Britain, which included six days of conference and several fact-finding visits, interspersed with golf, sightseeing and rugby world cup matches. The reception was hosted by the Society's Vice-President (Mr Marshall Davies), who is shown (right) receiving a plaque and a cuddly koala toy from the AIPM chairman (Mr Kos Sclavos).
