Dear Mr DavidS
Through our regular “attitude tracker” research and the many discussions I have had with members,
I know there is a real eagerness to get going with the new professional body. That means everyone has to know what they will be getting for their money and how much will they have to pay.
Once the new General Pharmaceutical Council takes over regulation later this year, the Society as the professional body will be governed by a new Assembly. The Assembly has already met in “shadow” form and has agreed the full annual fee for 2011. This will be £192 – that’s less than £4 per week. We’re also looking at various discounts, and incentives associated with particular methods of payment.
Membership of the professional body will be open to all those who have ever been on the practising or the non-practising register.
Here are just some of the things the new Society will do for you for less than £4 a week:
Confidential information, advice and support for you whenever and wherever you need it, throughout your career and beyond.

We are continuing to develop new services for our members. You can find out more about the benefits of being a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society by visiting our website.
As you’ve already paid your fees for 2010 you can benefit from many of these services now and continue to do so for the rest of this year without paying anything more. In 2011 you’ll continue to get all these benefits for less than £4 per week.
Your new Society is coming and I look forward to even greater use of our services as we move towards our new role as the professional body – focussed on providing leadership and service to our members.
Yours sincerely
Jeremy Holmes
Chief Executive and Registrar
