Society summary

Inspectors' presentations for preregistration trainees

Each year, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's professional standards inspectors organise a series of 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 informal sessions are open to all trainees, whatever fields of practice they are training in. Trainees may attend the presentation of their own choice. There is no need to reserve a place in advance, other than for the sessions in Birmingham. There is no charge for attending the presentations, but any travel costs will have to be met by the trainee or employer.

This season's presentations take place at 30 venues across Britain, with a choice of dates in London and Birmingham (see Table). Most are early in the new year, but one session, in Crewe, has already taken place.

Details of the presentations have been sent to preregistration trainees and tutors with the Society's latest preregistration bulletin. The mailing includes information on the precise location of each venue, with details of railway stations and bus routes and advice on road travel and parking. (For the Crewe presentation, which takes place before the mailing, this information is given in a footnote to the Table.) For most venues the mailing will also give a telephone number for further information about the site (eg, access for the disabled). The information included with the mailing can also be downloaded from the preregistration training page of the Society's website.

Any queries about the presentations should be addressed to the individual inspectors, who can be contacted in writing through the Professional Standards Directorate.
