New structure outlined for Adjudicating Committee
The Council of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has agreed a new structure for its Adjudicating Committee, which sets the requirements for overseas pharmacists (including those from the European Economic Area who do not comply with the European Directives) who wish to register with the Society.
The special Council
meeting agreed that in future the committee should
consist of two pharmacists with community/primary care expertise, two
pharmacists with secondary care expertise, two senior pharmacist academics
(head of school or equivalent) and one lay member. If none of those is
a member of Council, then a Council member should be appointed as an
additional member.
The committee would be chaired by a pharmacist, who need not be a Council
member. The appointments would be made by the Appointments Panel. Members
would serve for no more than three three-year terms. The quorum for meetings
would be four, including at least one pharmacist from each area of expertise.
