Retention fees reminder

The Royal Phamaceutical Society has issued a reminder to members and pharmacy owners to pay their retention fees for 2003, which were due on 1 January. Members' receipts are being issued as the forms are processed.

The Society advises those members and pharmacy owners who have not yet paid to submit their retention fees and forms without delay if they are to avoid the risk of removal from the Register and the penalty fee that would then be due in addition to the retention fee.

Members and pharmacy owners who have not received a retention fee form should pay by sending a cheque. For members' fees cheques should be clearly marked with the member's name and membership number. For premises fees cheques should be marked with the company name and the premises address or, in the case of a sole proprietor, the membership number and premises address. Cheques should be sent to Registration Section, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, PO Box 646, London SE1 7LA.

The fee for members working full-time is £195. The premises fee is £101. Members who are paying a reduced fee without returning a retention fee form should enclose a statutory declaration and signed letter confirming which fee they are paying.

Further information about registration matters, including how to pay the retention fee by direct debit in future, is available from the registration section of the Society's website.
