Death of Statutory Committee member Bob Wood
Bob Wood, a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Statutory Committee for the past 12 years, has died.
Paying tribute to Mr Wood during the Statutory Committee’s meeting
last week,
the chairman, Lord Fraser of Carmyllie,
QC, said that Mr Wood had been a much loved and valued colleague. He
combined a considerable knowledge of pharmacy with an unimpeachable integrity
and real perception. “So far as he was concerned, there was no
compromise with the higher standards of the profession, and at the same
time he was as forgiving and gentle as anyone I have ever had the privilege
of working with.”
David Reissner, a lawyer who regularly represents pharmacists before
the committee, said that Mr Wood always had incisive questions but his
humanity would shine through.
The Society’s Secretary and Registrar, Ann Lewis, said that the
profession would miss
Mr Wood. He was a special person, and she endorsed all that had been
said about him.
