Death of former member of Society's Council
Michael Millward, a former member of the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society for six years, has died at the age of 68.
Mr Millward was first elected to the Council in 1969, when he was a manager
in community pharmacy. He was one of two successful candidates from among
seven members of the Chemists’ Action Group. The main planks of
the group’s manifesto were that the Society should be at the centre
of negotiating and planning NHS pharmaceutical services and that NHS
contracts should be held by the individual pharmacists supplying the
services.
While on the Council Mr Millward took up a post in the chief pharmacist’s
office at
the Department of Health and he did not seek re-election when his three-year
term of office ended in 1972. He stood again successfully in 1974, by
which time he had returned to community practice. After serving a further
three years he was unsuccessful in the 1974 election and withdrew from
pharmacy politics.
