Society summary

Inspectors' talks for preregistration trainees

Each year, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's professional standards inspectors organise a series of informal half-day presentations for preregistration trainees. The aim is to explain the inspector's own role and that of the Society's Professional Standards Directorate, so that trainees can gain an understanding of the support available to pharmacists from those sources.

The sessions are open to all trainees, who may attend the presentation of their own choice. There is no charge for attending the presentations, but any travel costs will have to be met by the trainee or employer.

The presentations take place at a range of venues across Britain. Most will be early in the new year, but a session in Crewe is scheduled for Monday 25 November 2002. It will take place from 9.30am to 12.30pm in the Mental Health Conference Room at Leighton Hospital, Middlewich Road, Crewe, Cheshire (tel 01270 255141), and will be given by Steven Gascoigne. Advance booking is not necessary. The venue is about four miles from Crewe railway station, from which buses run frequently. The hospital has a car park.

Details of all the presentations are to be sent to preregistration trainees and tutors with the Society's next preregistration bulletin, which is to be sent out in mid-November. The information will also be placed on the preregistration training page of the Society's website.
