President Apologises for Society's failings

The President of the RPSGB, Steve Churton, is asking pharmacists to look to the future in the creation of a new dynamic leadership body. At the BPC he apologised for the Society falling short of members' expectations in the past, but he gave assurances that the Society is determined to change.

However, he felt that without the re-engagement of the members, the chances of building a new professional leadership body from the de-merger of the Society will be compromised.

He felt that it would be the aim of the new leadership body to focus on the needs of the members, enabling them to reach their professional aspirations.

On the current transitional process, he said:

We need opinions, input, engagement and constructive debate from all sectors of pharmacy. Standing on the sidelines is not an option. It would be a tragedy if, in 2010, we are the only leading healthcare profession that cannot call on the support of a strong and united professional body. I don’t intend to let that happen
