Re: Technicians in the Royal collef of Pharmacists
I think that there is a very good chance that this argument is going to get so polarised that it's going to tie us all up for months.
The most polarised seem to think that either:
A. Techs are admitted on an equal footing as pharmacists
B. Techs are not admitted at all.
There seems to be very little argument for an affiliation or associstion for techs individually or to have APTUK as an associate affiliate to the "Royal college" If that's what it's called.
I believe techs should be affiliated so we can all benefit from each others' knowledge and libraries etc. but if they are admitted on an equal fitting we will become a minority in our own professional representational body.
Do you think techs will worry as much about remote supervision as pharmacists?
This problem needs to be sorted soon because we're all going to end up looking very stupid if we can't even decide who's going to be in a body which hasn't even been defined or even named yet.Linnear MRPharmS

Re: Technicians in the Royal collef of Pharmacists
Not sure if you're trying to make a point or asking a question John.
If it's a question then the answer is I don't know.
If you're trying to make the point that there is a single body for pharmacists i.e. the PDA then I don't believe that it's a very good point. Sorry John.
The PDA was set up, I believe from my brief experiences with Mark Koziol, because the Soc didn't support pharmacists.
We now have the chance of having an official, possibly Royal, body that has the sole purpose of defending and representing pharmacists and some people seem to want to make us a minority in it before it's even been named.
Sorry again if you weren't arguing John and were only fact finding!Linnear MRPharmS

Re: Technicians in the Royal collef of Pharmacists
I agree totally with the PDA being a member myself and will more than likely stay a member as it becomes unionised (if that's a word!)
I see your point, you were arguing that there is a body out there.
Here I am arguing that things are becoming too polarised and I'm trying to make arguments when there aren't any to be had. (Blame the trapped nerve in my back making me grouchy! It's amazing what you can get away with when you have one of those buggers! It's ALMOST worth the agony for two days!)
But I would like to add that because we have a body to fight for pahrmacists doesn't give us a valid reason to let techs into the new 'Royal College' on an equal footing.Linnear MRPharmS
