HAPPY NEW YEAR 

NAWP is once again open for new members. We’re looking forward to creating the next chapter of our 115 years of history and we’d like you to be part of it.

PDA’s existing objectives to “Represent your interests”, “Defend your reputation” and “Support your career” fit comfortably together with the NAWP mission to “enable all women pharmacists to realise their full potential and raise their profile by being educationally, socially and politically active” and we are going to make a positive difference for women pharmacists.

JOIN NAWP NOW

You can support the important work of NAWP and benefit from our activity by adding NAWP membership to your existing PDA membership.  NAWP will continue to:

• Contribute to debate within the profession and healthcare
• Represent pharmacy amongst women’s organisations
• Address Career and CPD issues
• Provide networking and fellowship opportunities
• Examine women’s healthcare issues

As well as the ability to support and engage in the work of the network, all NAWP members also have access to a number of other benefits, including: Publications, Training & Education and Events,

PDA members benefit from a discounted membership fee and you are invited to join NAWP today for just £10 per year, or FREE if you are a PDA student member.

Existing PDA members will have their NAWP membership renewal date aligned with their main PDA membership, so that they only have a single, combined renewal each year. This means your initial NAWP membership may be for  less than a year and in that first year you will only pay the relative proportion of the £10 annual fee for the remainder of your current PDA membership year.

NAWP at the PDA Conference

Dr Wanda Wyporska, FRSA will be speaking to members of NAWP at the PDA national conference in March 2020.  In the 50th year since the Equal Pay Act became law, the Executive Director of the Equality Trust will be talking to pharmacists about inequality at work: What it means for pharmacists and what you can do about it.

Members of NAWP can attend the PDA conference for free (refundable deposit necessary).  Other speakers at conference includes Greta Torbergsen, General Secretary of the Norwegian Association of Pharmacists, Regan McCahill, President of the British Pharmaceutical Students Association and newly elected member of parliament and pharmacist Taiwo Owatemi MP

12/12/19 – NAWP President on the gender pay gap and the PDA and the future of women in pharmacy

06/12/19 – National Association of Women Pharmacists to continue as part of the PDA

16/10/19 – PDA responds to BEIS consultation on Neonatal Leave & Pay

In future articles, we will also be celebrating the success of female pharmacists leading the way and showcasing the talent across female pharmacy students – the future of women in pharmacy.

We would like to hear your suggestions of who or what you think we should include in NAWP articles.
