The PDA is celebrating reaching more than 1,500 memberships across the organisation’s four equality networks within the first year of their activity, demonstrating the importance to pharmacists of equality at work.
Welcome to the first PDA LGBT+ Pharmacists' Network newsletter! The network provides a structure through which members can work together to proactively address and campaign around sexual orientation discrimination and its causes and consequences.
This virtual meeting was an opportunity for LGBT+ network members to discuss relevant issues in pharmacy, for both pharmacists and patients, as well as to talk about the future direction of the network.
The PDA has launched three additional Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Networks for their growing membership. The Ability, BAME and LGBT networks will fit alongside the National Association of Women Pharmacists (NAWP), which became part of the PDA in January. The four networks will significantly advance the organisation’s work on equality.
A key objective of the PDA Union is to tackle inequality at work and when we say that, we mean our constitution explicitly states that we exist to “promote equality for all and to eliminate all forms of harassment, prejudice and unfair discrimination…”
