President urges even more members to take part in the Pharmacy 2020
consultation
 Over 800 pharmacists, technicians and preregistration trainees have engaged in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Pharmacy 2020 consultation and more than 50 Pharmacy 2020 meetings have been organised by 21 pharmacy champions across Great Britain.
Through Pharmacy 2020, the Society aims to determine where pharmacy will
be in 10 to 15 years’ time and the route it will take to get there.
The consultation, which closes on 28 December 2007, is designed to gauge
members’ opinions
on the future of the profession.
The President of the Society, Hemant Patel, this week expressed his gratitude
to those who have taken part in the consultation but he added: “Pharmacy
2020 offers us all a unique opportunity to help influence our future.
Its success relies on the participation and commitment of the membership.
Please, if you have not already done so, complete the consultation document:
together, we can make a real difference to the future of the profession.”
External stakeholders, including pharmacy, non-pharmacy and public and
patient groups, are also being asked for their input. Letters from the
President have been sent, inviting them to contribute to the consultation
and to help build a vision for pharmacy in the future.
Members can respond to the Pharmacy 2020 consultation on the Society’s
website, or by completing the Pharmacy
2020 document distributed with The Pharmaceutical Journal on 6 October 2007.
