Regulatory reform date for pharmacy

A date has been set by the Government for the modernisation of pharmacy regulation.

In a Parliamentary written reply on 25 June, Mr David Lammy, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health, said: "We are working with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain to bring forward an order under section 60 of the Health Act 1999 in 2003 to modernise the professional regulation of pharmacy, which is expected to include the necessary powers to implement a compulsory obligation for pharmacists to participate in continuing professional development."
