Registration

Fitness-to-practise declaration

From Mr D. I. Simpson, FRPharmS

In The Journal’s report of the October meeting of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Council (PJ, October 21, p491), it is said: “The Council noted that the completion of a fitness-to-practise declaration [when renewing registration] is currently required under the terms of the Society’s Charter.” I was at the meeting, and I do not recall the Council doing any such thing, although I acknowledge that memory can play tricks with one.

Be that as it may, I would be glad if I could be directed to precisely which part of the Charter sets out in terms the requirement to complete the declaration.

Douglas Simpson
Member of Council
Royal Pharmaceutical Society

In our report of the October Council meeting, a statement that the completion of a fitness-to-practise declaration when renewing one’s registration “is currently required under the terms of the Society’s Charter” (PJ, October 21, p491) was not meant to imply that the Charter itself includes a specific requirement for a declaration to be completed. What the Council was told was that the Society “relies on its Charter to request the completion of the annual retention declaration by members”.

We understand the retention fee declaration form has been designed to enable the Society to fulfil its legal obligations under the Charter.
