Rural pharmacists

There was no cohesive force

From Mr A. G. M. Madge, MRPharmS

The announcement that the Rural Pharmacists Association is to be wound up (PJ, 2 November, p635) brings back to me, as co-founder with John Davies, many memories.

When it was founded, there was a need for such a group. Rural Pharmacists were isolated with no cohesive force serving rural areas. This was the era of dispensing doctors, who were disadvantageous to rural colleagues. John and I served and, I trust, helped our rural colleagues at that period of pharmaceutical history.
