New professional body should be built from Society

摘要

Pharmacy's new professional body should be built on what is left of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society after its regulatory functions have been taken over by the planned General Pharmaceutical Council,the Pharmacists' Defence Association has said.But in order to achieve a clear dissociation from the past and underpin the new professional body's finances,the PDA believes that both the new body and the regulator need to move out of the Society's Lambeth headquarters,which should then be sold to finance the new organisation.
