“Pharmacy Voice”, a new representative body for community pharmacy, was established this week by three key pharmacy bodies.
The National Pharmacy Association, the Company Chemists’ Association and the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies have created the organisation in a bid to provide “a stronger, unified voice” for their members.

Oh goody, Big Government will love this. As for pharmacists, completely disregarded.

When is the RPS going to come to the centre of the ring to represent those doing the 'grunt' work.
Two hours walk in the snow, stand in freezing shop, phone not stopped ringing, faxes pumping out, no deliveries etc etc.
Surgery closed early and all patients piling in for emergency supplies.

Best in the universe
copy and paste my comments from locumvoice:
So that's another seat for "interested parties" at consultations
CCA = themselves
NPA = CCA
Boots = CCA
LLoyds = CCA
PV = CCA (can't see AIMP having a big share there)
PSNC = CCA (as far as I can see....)
Old RPSGB = CCA (more or less)
New RPS = remains to be seen
PDA = not invited
May we could each become a "representative body" and have a place each
Does this mean the CCA isn't expecting undiluted running of the RPS? .... which probably means they won't be paying for it....

A voice for the 'pharmacy sector'.

And we will all be swept along with it and have even less say in what becomes of our profession.
(Am I still allowed to say that?)

Unfortunately, when the society was formed Pharmacy and Pharmacists were one and the same. Now they are employers and employed. A voice for pharmacy is a voice for the employers not for pharmacists.

Do we really need a representative body..surely the RPS would/should be doing that?!?!?
Too many chiefs and not enough indians...everyone wants a piece of the pie!!
