One pharmacist in five responds to CPD consultation

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's survey of pharmacists' opinions on mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) has attracted a response from about one in five of those who were sent a survey form.

The Society's CPD implementation committee sought pharmacists' views through a survey form distributed with the 15 February issue of The Pharmaceutical Journal. The form went to all members with registered addresses in Britain. By the closing date, 17 March, the number of responses exceeded 8,000.

The main initial findings of the consultation will be considered by the implementation committee on 24 March. The committee will then be in an informed position to advise the Council at its meeting on 1 and 2 April. The responses are to be summarised in an article in The Journal on 29 March.
