RPS may add new categories
November 5, 2010
THE UK Royal Pharmaceutical
Society has opened up voting for
new membership categories,
including its proposed ‘student
member’ category and its
‘associate member’ category.
If approved, the student member
category will be open to all
pharmacy students who are
studying at an educational
institution which is recognised by
the Society; whilst the associate
member category would apply to
those with a pharmacy degree,
including those who have never
been registered with the regulator
in Great Britain (such as preregistration
trainees and pharmacists
practicing outside of the UK).
In order to come into effect, two
thirds of the RPS’ current
membership will have to approve
the proposed categories.
“As the professional body for
pharmacy, we are the obvious
home for all pharmacists as well as
those who plan on becoming
pharmacists,” said RPS president,
Martin Astbury.
“We are committed to
supporting our members
throughout their pharmacy career
and believe that this career starts
the moment a student embarks on
their pharmacy degree course.
“I encourage all pharmacists to
vote in the ballot and help shape
the future of the Society,” he
added.
