Modernisation

I do not know enough about the new Charter

From Mrs M. D. Benfield, MRPharmS

There must be many members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society who, like me, did not reply to the consultation document on the draft new Charter, and who would find it difficult to reply “yes” or “no” to a referendum. This is not because I am not interested, but because I do not know enough to join in the discussion or make a good decision.

Circumstances mean that it is difficult for me to get to branch meetings, where I might have had a chance to join in discussions, possibly with an informed Council member. But this does not mean that I am not interested in the future of the Society and the Charter — and the people we need to be most concerned about are the younger and yet-to-be pharmacists. (It is unlikely to affect me, as my working days are long over.)

To me, as far as I can judge, the idea of two bodies (the “Council” and “Senate”, or something similar) appears the best future form.

Margaret Benfield
Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire
