History – Timeline

The Pharmacist Defence Association Union (PDAU) first sought to represent Boots pharmacists and pre-registration graduates for collective bargaining purposes in 2011. This was so we could negotiate on your behalf for better working conditions and terms and conditions of employment, such as pay, hours and holiday. Boots took steps to block this.

The Pharmacists' Defence Association is a company limited by guarantee. Registered in England; Company No 4746656.

The Pharmacists' Defence Association is an appointed representative in respect of insurance mediation activities only of
The Pharmacy Insurance Agency Limited which is registered in England and Wales under company number 2591975
and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Register No 307063)
