PDA calls for firmer stance on remote supervision

The Pharmacists' Defence Association has again voiced its opposition to the Government's plans for remote pharmacy supervision with the release of a document “Remote supervision — a step too far?”.

The document summarises the PDA’s concerns about the changes proposed in the new Health Act — some of which were discussed in February at its annual conference in Birmingham (PJ, 11 March, p297).

The PDA calls for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society to take a firmer stance — and a like-minded one — on the issue of remote supervision.
