SOS clear winner in Council election
Thirteen of the 17 pharmacists elected to the newly constituted Council of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society are openly declared supporters of the Save Our Society campaign.
All 13 of them were elected to unreserved seats. The four non-SOS supporters
are the new regional representatives for England (Jonathan Buisson),
Scotland (David Thomson) and Wales (Colin Ranshaw) and Dorothy Drury,
who takes the remaining unreserved place.
The other successful candidates, in order of popularity, are Hemant Patel,
Martin Astbury, Graham Phillips, Stephen Wells, Gerald Alexander, John
Gentle, John Jolley, Sid Dajani, Davan Eustace, Andrew McCoig, Shiv Bagga,
Douglas Simpson and Bharat Nathwani.
Members of the former Council who failed to gain re-election were, in
alphabetical order, Digby Emson, Alison Ewing, Gill Hawksworth, Pat Hoare
and Linda Stone. No candidate who declared open support for the SOS campaign
failed to be elected.
