Society's national pharmacy boards elections completed

The first elections to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's national pharmacy boards have been completed, with polling figures suggesting that the creation of an English Pharmacy Board has failed to attract much interest among pharmacists.

The percentage of ballot papers returned in the election of pharmacists to the English board was 14.4 per cent, compared with 24.2 per cent in Scotland and 29.8 in Wales.

Pharmacy technicians were more enthusiastic, with polls of 27.4 per cent of ballot papers returned in England and 36.9 per cent in Wales.
