Society retention fees to rise “substantially” next year

The next increase in annual retention fees will be substantial, Royal Pharmaceutical Society President Hemant Patel told a branch representatives meeting held at the Society headquarters last week.

“I am telling you at the earliest opportunity,” he stated. However, Mr Patel was unable to elaborate on how large the fee increase would be. He made clear that a substantial increase in fees would have to occur now in order for the Society to continue its current obligations and to prepare for the intended separation of functions.

At the meeting, Ann Lewis, the Society’s Secretary and Registrar, explained that “de-merging” the Society would require huge change management that would be very costly.
