Regulations replace Byelaws
Regulations succeeding several sections of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Byelaws came into force on 4 June after receiving the approval of the Privy Council.
The new Regulations, made under the Society’s Charter, had been
submitted
to the Privy Council for approval by the Council after the
required 60-day gazetting period (PJ, 7 April, p408).
The new Regulations cover the interpretation of various words (Section
4), the remuneration of auditors (Section 5), the Society’s seal
(Section 6), The Journal (Section 7), the museum (Section 8) and the
Council’s powers in relation to codes, protocols and guidance (Section
9). The Regulations entirely supersede Sections VIII, X, XI, XIII, XVIII,
XXV and XXVI of the existing Byelaws.
Three sections of the Regulations are already in existence. They cover
the election of Council members (Section 1), appointed Council members
(Section 2) and the national pharmacy boards (Section 3). The complete
text of the Regulations and Byelaws can be accessed from the “History
and governing documents” page of the Society’s website.
