of BCM Specials |
In one of his last functions on behalf of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society before retiring from the Council, the immediate past president of the Society, Marshall Davies, was guest of honour at the official opening of a newly extended and refurbished manufacturing area at BCM Specials on 7 May.
Mr Davies is retiring from the Council this year after 12 years’ service,
including two as President of the Society. On 12 May he attended his
last Council meeting — the brief meeting traditionally held just
before the Society’s annual general meeting.
The BCM official opening was the culmination of a £1m expansion
plan which has provided the company with increased capacity and faster
systems. Mr Davies was given a tour of the laboratory base, meeting many
of the staff, including technicians and manufacturing operatives as well
as pharmacists and management teams.
After the visit, Mr Davies commented that the production of non-licensed
medicines was now a specialised and controlled operation. Their availability
enabled pharmacists to concentrate on their prime clinical and cognitive
roles for the benefit of patients and customers. |
