LOL - I just answered this on Private Rx
CPD is provided by the CPPE, PCT, NPC etc
The main employers provide a means of recording CPD, as does the PDA.
Pharmacist input on medication issues is already provided by the likes of the NPC.
So I don't believe that our new professional body should spend our fees in providing what is already provided elsewhere.
What I would like? The new body should in essence be a
PR company highlighting, encouraging and enabling the role of pharmacists; an organisation that raised the expectations of clinicians, politicians, the public and above all pharmacists.
I'd probably pay 2k without thinking too much - if I thought our new body would do this. Unfortunately I think my money is pretty safe.
Who would we like to see in charge. (Ignoring incidentals like them wanting to stand or be elected)
My wish list would include Claire Mackie (Academic), Mark Koziol (PDA), Martin Bennett or Tony Schofield (Community), Jonathan Underhill or Sue Faulding (NPC), Nigel Simmons (CfH) and Anthony Cox (MRHA). I accept that I have not put down either a hospital or industrial candidate. Perhaps an ex Chief Pharmacist (for their understanding of the workings of the DH).
I'd also like to see places reserved for younger pharmacists (under 40) - it's their future not mine - so Robbie Turner(Assura).
