YPG plans debate on modernisation

The Young Pharmacists Group is to hold an open forum debate on the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's modernisation plans on the day before the British Pharmaceutical Conference.

The debate will be held on the afternoon of Sunday 22 September at the Thistle Hotel, Portland Street, Manchester. This year's BPC is being held in Manchester on 23–25 September.

The YPG believes that the event is necessary as "there has been no meaningful consultation with the membership from the Modernisation Steering Group". The forum will allow a two-way discussion on the modernisation process, the YPG says.

The debate is to be followed by a dinner the same evening to raise funds for the YPG's model pharmacy project. Tickets for the dinner cost £35 each. Details of the debate and the dinner can be found on the YPG's website (www.ypg.info) or obtained from Noel Wicks on 07961 189449.
