The Society

End the dual role of regulator and professional body

From Miss S. D. Patel, MRPharmS

Mark Koziol should be commended for his Broad spectrum article (PJ, 2 December 2006, p664), which he wrote in support of an end to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s dual role of regulator and professional body. The public has an absolute right to be safeguarded and it is essential that an organisation ensures that their care is not compromised.

Equally every pharmacist, especially those of us working at the sharp end of hospital or community practice, has the right to a professional body that is allowed to be 100 per cent our protector, defender, advocate and promoter.

The current situation short changes the public and pharmacists alike.
