Careers supplement produced by The Society and The Independent

A special supplement promoting careers in pharmacy will be circulated within The Independent on 23 February. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has joined forces with The Independent to publish the supplement, which will also be distributed to members of the Society with the 28 February issue of The Pharmaceutical Journal. The supplement will focus on how the role of pharmacy in primary and secondary care is changing and will provide advice on career opportunities. It will include a contribution from the Society’s President, Gill Hawksworth.

Beverley Parkin, director of public affairs and communications, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said: “The promotion of careers in pharmacy is an important part of the Society’s professional development and leadership role.”

She added: “It is vital that the profession continues to attract the right people to become the next generation of practitioners. The Society is working to revitalise its careers activities over the coming year and this collaboration with a national newspaper provides a great platform to build on.”
