The Journal

Lack of commitment

From Mr V. Summers, MRPharmS

SIR,—I too was amazed to see that being a pharmacist is not deemed as being essential for becoming editor of The Pharmaceutical Journal.
I feel, and I suspect many others do too, that this post must be filled by a pharmacist, in order to be able to apply his or her background to the view taken when reporting issues to the membership.
Why is the Royal Pharmaceutical Society unwilling to commit itself to this?
