Council election 2005
Nominations for election as members of Council should be received by
Averil Ridgway, Head of Central Administration, Royal Pharmaceutical
Society of Great Britain,
1 Lambeth High Street London SE1 7JN, by noon on 25 February 2005. Nominations
in the Council election must be signed by 10 pharmacist nominators in the case
of a pharmacist candidate. Pharmacy technician candidates in this first election
to the new Council will be self-nominated. Pharmacist candidates for a national
constituency must be nominated by 10 pharmacists whose addresses in the register
are in the relevant constituency.
Because the election regulations have had to be regazetted under the new Charter
(PJ, 11 December 2004, p863), this call for nominations is being made on a conditional
basis, as the election regulations will not be approved before February.
There will be 17 vacancies for elected pharmacists, comprising 14 unreserved
places and one place reserved to each of the three national constituencies (England,
the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands; Scotland; and Wales). There will be
a further two vacancies for elected pharmacy technicians.
Nominees who are accepting nomination to the Council are asked to enclose with
the nomination form the Declaration and Undertaking for Candidates for Election
to the Council, duly signed, their biographical details, a declaration of relevant
interests, and a declaration of any relevant adverse decisions, as shown in the
Council statement of policy on election procedures.
Please note that, in the 2005 election, the deadline for receipt of all
the supporting
material, including the candidate’s photograph and election statement,
is also noon on 25 February 2005.
All nominations must be made on an official nomination form. To obtain a nomination
form and guidance papers, contact Ms Ridgway (tel 020 7572 2205;
e-mail averil.ridgway@rpsgb.org). Guidance papers will also be available shortly
on the Society’s website.
