Section 60 threatens professional support

摘要

Plans for the future regulation of pharmacy by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society will lead to a reduction in the Society's professional and supportive roles.This is the view of the Institute of Pharmacy Management International set out in its response to the Government's consultation on the proposed Section 60 Order(PJ,1 April,p371).The IPMI says that the Society has a good record as a regulator across all areas of practice and investigates proportionately more members than either the General Medical Council or the Nursing and Midwifery Council.It also says that the Society's regulatory cost per member is double that of the GMC and NMC and that costs will rise.
