Overseas pharmacists

High retention fee — not justified

From Mr R. Smedley, MRPharmS

In The Pharmaceutical Journal (21 January, p74), John Crellin (from Canada) and Malcolm Fowler (from Australia) complained about the retention fee for retired pharmacists living overseas. Members resident in Great Britain pay £60 while members living overseas pay £106. Surely the increased cost of posting The Pharmaceutical Journal does not justify this difference. Since The Journal is available online we could be given the option of not receiving it by mail. The cost to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society would then be little. The answer given by the deputy secretary and registrar Philip Green did not answer the question put by the above correspondents.
