Society names members of appointments group
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has announced the members of the appointments group that will appoint about 60 members to the four new statutory committees — a Disciplinary Committee, a Health Committee, an Investigating Committee and a Registration Appeals Committee.
The applications — which had been invited through press advertising — were
considered by a selection panel comprising Elizabeth Filkin, who has
already been appointed as independent chairman of the appointments group,
and lay Council members Ray Jobling and Dr Phillida Entwistle.
The group has appointed as deputy chairman Sue Young, of Richmond, North
Yorkshire. Mrs Young, an independent management consultant, is chairman
of Hambleton and Richmondshire Primary Care Trust and is on the central
list of independent assessors of the Commissioner for Public Appointments.
The two pharmacist positions have been filled by Elizabeth
Kay, of
Leeds, and Raj Parekh, of North London. Professor Kay is chief pharmacist
at
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Mr Parekh is chief pharmacist at
Camden and Islington Mental Health and Social Care Trust.
The pharmacy technician position has been filled by Joanne Taylor,
of Merseyside. Mrs Taylor works at Jamiesons Pharmacy, Whetstone Lane
Medical
Centre, Birkenhead.
Three reserve members have also been appointed. The reserve deputy
chairman is Moi Ali, a communications consultant, trainer and author
from West
Calder, West Lothian. The reserve pharmacist is Dot Anderson, an independent
consultant in health and pharmacy in Edinburgh, and the reserve pharmacy
technician is Gaynor Rowley, chief pharmacy technician (dispensary
services) at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust.
