It is with the deepest sadness that the Guild Council at the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists (GHP) heard the news of the death of Joan Greenleaf MBE. Joan was an honorary vice president of the GHP and made an enormous contribution to the development of hospital pharmacy during her working life. Following her qualification as a pharmacist in 1954, Joan pursued a career in hospital pharmacy and, in 1975, was one of the first regional pharmaceutical ocers appointed in England, following the Noel Hall Report. Joan was appointed regional pharmaceutical ocer for North East Thames and remained in post until her retirement in 1990. During her time in this role, she supported the development of specialties, such as medicines information and quality control, and the instigation of the taught Master’s degree in clinical pharmacy at the School of Pharmacy, University of London.
