Retention fees: a reminder

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's registration section has issued a reminder to members and pharmacy owners not to forget to pay their retention fees for 2002. The registration section says that some 60 per cent of retention fees for members and premises have now been received. Members' receipts are being issued as quickly as possible as the forms are processed.

The Society recommends the remaining members and pharmacy owners to send in their retention fees and forms without delay if they are to avoid the risk of removal from the Register and the penalty fee that would then be due in addition to the retention fee.

Members and pharmacy owners who have not received a retention fee form can still pay by sending a cheque, clearly marked with name and membership number, company name and premises address or, in the case of a sole proprietor, membership number and premises address. Cheque should be sent to Registration Section, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, PO Box 646, London SE1 7LA.

The fee for members working full-time is £186. The premises fee is £97. Members who are paying a reduced fee without returning a retention fee form should enclose a signed letter confirming which fee they are paying.

Further information about registration matters, including how to pay the retention fee by direct debit in future, is available from the registration section of the Society's website.
