Society fellows

Status used to be by examination

From Mr R. I. Felix, FRPharmS

I agree with William Peberdy (PJ, 20 April, p537) that all fellows of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society should be listed and have the prefix "F" on the Society's website. I have no objection to the Society electing fellows, but it should be remembered that the 632 fellows omitted from the website achieved their status by examination. Many worked hard, often under financial constraints to achieve a higher standard of education in order to pursue more scientific careers outside community pharmacy, for example, in the pharmaceutical and allied industries.

R. I. Felix
