inquiries:
Monday 17 November
1. An inquiry into a pharmacist convicted of a number of offences resulting
from failure to comply with Regulations made under the Misuse of Drugs
Act 1971.
2. An inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against
a pharmacist which alleges that accepting locum work in a hospital when
the pharmacist did not have the requisite knowledge or skills relevant
to hospital pharmacy may amount to misconduct.
3. A resumed inquiry into a pharmacist convicted of one count of theft
of a quantity of diamorphine ampoules and one count of being in possession
of a quantity of heroin. The inquiry was first heard on 23 May 2002 and
adjourned for 18 months.
Tuesday 18 November
4. A resumed inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against
a pharmacist which alleges that the payment by the pharmacist of the
reduced part-time retention fee notwithstanding that the pharmacist
had worked in excess of 13 weeks may amount to misconduct. The inquiry
was first heard on 14 April 2003 and adjourned for 6 months.
5. An inquiry into the case of a company where the company and its director
were convicted of a number of offences contrary to sections 52 and 67
of the Medicines Act 1968. There is also a complaint by the Council of
the Society against the company and its director which includes allegations
that permitting the company to be open for the sale and supply of medicinal
products, having failed to appoint a superintendent pharmacist, and providing
to the Society details purporting to show that certain pharmacists had
been on duty at the pharmacy when this was not the case, amounts to misconduct.
Wednesday 19 November
6. An inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against
a pharmacist proprietor and a locum pharmacist employed by him, which
includes allegations that both pharmacists failed to be truthful when
interviewed by the Society’s inspectors and obstructed an investigation

product at the pharmacy.
