Mr Rodney Ledward, who was struck from the medical register in 1998 (PJ, June 10, p866) has been ordered to be removed from the Register of Pharmaceutical Chemists. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Statutory Committee agreed on October 11 that his conduct as a gynaecologist had brought the pharmacy profession into disrepute and that this constituted misconduct. A more detailed report will be published in due course.
