GHP to be restructured

Amicus, the parent trade union of the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists has proposed a new structure for its health professional groups, including the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists.

The union has asked the guild to postpone both the 2005 council election and the annual general meeting that was due to take place on 16 April. Similar instructions have been given to other professional groups.

Anthony Oxley, guild vice-president, said: “Amicus has put some proposals on the table and we have responded. There is more debate to take place.”

There is no proposal to abolish the guild council. Mr Oxley said: “There is no suggestions that the council could be abolished. The proposals relate to the constituencies and make-up of the council.”

Guild members will have a chance to discuss the plans during what would otherwise have been their AGM.
