Substantial early response to survey on mandatory CPD for pharmacists

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's education division says it already had a substantial response to its survey of members' views on mandatory continuing professional development for pharmacists (PJ, 15 February, p249), but it hopes that more members will take the opportunity to express their views before the 17 March closing date.

The survey form need not take long to complete. Pharmacists who have mislaid the form can download a further copy from the CPD page within the education section of the Society's website. The form bears a Freepost address and is designed for posting without the need for an envelope.

For members resident overseas, who are also covered by the proposals, PJ Online is offering a version of the form that can be completed online (www.pjonline.com/survey). Members resident in Britain are welcome to respond by this means should they so wish.

The responses will be summarised in an article in The Journal on 29 March and will be considered by the Council at its meeting in April.
