New fitness-to-practise machinery agreed

摘要

The Council agreed that the Society's existing disciplinary procedures and committees, including the Statutory Committee, should be abolished and replaced by new fitness-to-practise machinery. New procedures would be introduced for dealing with complaints or evidence that a person's fitness to practise as a pharmacist or to conduct a retail pharmacy business was impaired by a conviction or caution for a criminal offence, misconduct, impaired competence, deficient professional performance, a physical or mental health condition, or a decision of another health or social care regulatory body that the person's fitness to practise that profession is impaired.
