Society summary

Candidates announced for the Society’s 2006 elections to the three national pharmacy boards

Following the close of nominations on 3 November, and subsequent validation of those nominations, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has now announced the names of the candidates in the national pharmacy boards elections.

English Pharmacy Board

The English Pharmacy Board has places for six pharmacists elected in unreserved places, one pharmacist elected in each of five sectors (community, hospital, industry, academia and primary care/public health) and one pharmacy technician.

Pharmacist candidates may choose to stand for an unreserved place, or for a place reserved to a particular sector of practice, or for both. If a candidate is elected to a sector place, then any votes received by that candidate in the election for unreserved pharmacist places shall be void. The candidates are:

Community sector Paul Bennett, Sultan “Sid” Dajani, Richard Daniszewski, Jagjiwan Khela, Cathryn Leask, Christopher Morris and Umakant Patel.

Primary care/public health sector Karen Acott, George “Andrew” Evans, Kathryn Featherstone, Nazma Jabbar, Alaster Rutherford, Beth Taylor and Gail Thomas.

Hospital and industry sectors Only one nomination has been received in the hospital sector, and one in the industry sector. Therefore, in accordance with the “Election scheme for members of national pharmacy boards” (Article 18[1]), the following candidates have been declared elected:

hospital sector, David Miller
industry sector, Stephen Wicks

Academia sector In the academia sector, no nominations have been received. In such a case the board has power to co-opt a member. This will be a matter on the agenda of the first English Pharmacy Board meeting.

Unreserved pharmacist places Paul Bennett, John Carr, Brian Curwain, Sultan “Sid” Dajani, Richard Daniszewski, Dorothy Drury, Davan Eustace, George “Andrew” Evans, Kathryn Featherstone, Lindsey Gilpin, Simon Hill, Jagjiwan Khela, Cathryn Leask, Christopher Morris, Umakant Patel, Beth Taylor and Gail Thomas.
