Would I vote for you? Not for the RPSGB - it would be a waste of your time and efforts. The RPSGB is at best irrelevant - and at worst a hindrance saying what we can't do rather than an enabling body that supports us in what we can do. I will not be joining any voluntary body formerly known as the RPSGB.




I must make it absolutely clear that I have no intention of standing for any office in any pharmacy organisation. My intention in posting is to enable ordinary pharmacists to articulate what would encourage them to join the much vaunted leadership organisation. I don't think many pharmacists have thought about it and I am damn sure our "leaders" haven't. I fear that a catastrophe is looming where the RPSGB staff up sticks and join the GPhC (a good thing in my view) leaving a building and a clean slate (again a good thing in my view) but that a demoralised and apathetic profession fail to grasp the opportunity presented.

Lambeth could be used as collateral or sold off to finance a new body but that doesn't mean that the new organisation had necessarily evolved from the old one. I would be looking to the new body to reprsent us V the GPhC amongst many other things.

What does anyone else think?
