First students admitted as associate members to College of Pharmacy Practice

The first student associates have been admitted to the College of Pharmacy Practice. Gautam Paul, president of the British Pharmaceutical Students' Association, and Amy Lepiorz, BPSA educational development officer, were welcomed into the college by its chief executive Ian Simpson at the BPSA preregistration conference in Birmingham on 26 February.

Preregistration trainees are able to join the college for a reduced fee of £12.50 and will be entitled to all the privileges of associate membership. They will not be allowed to use the designated letters ACPP until they are registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society or the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland.

“Membership of the college at preregistration level is a positive way of enabling a trainee to demonstrate their professional commitment to lifelong learning,” commented Mr Paul.

Further information for preregistration trainees wishing to join the college is available on the BPSA website at www.bpsa.com
