UK Pharmacy Professional Leadership Advisory Board Statement
12 September 2024
“The UK Pharmacy Professional Leadership Advisory Board was set up to support and steer the transition to a sustainable and effective structure of pharmacy professional leadership across the UK over a period of 3-5 years.
“We support the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in its proposals for a new constitution and governance framework as a positive and enabling step on a journey towards the Board’s ambition.
“Successfully realising this ambition in full over time will depend on sustaining inclusive and close collaboration and an ongoing commitment to transparency.
“The Board will continue to work closely with the professional leadership bodies and specialist professional groups in co-creating the next steps of the journey to help facilitate a positive future for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and wider pharmacy teams. We encourage RPS members to engage positively with the consultation as we all develop pharmacy professional leadership in the interests of patients, the public and the professions.”
