June update on national board meeting

RPS Boards from England, Scotland and Wales came together for a virtual board meeting today. They were joined by members across GB who could observe remotely and hear first-hand the updates and discussions.

 Key issues included:

•  The latest updates on projects looking at the future of pharmacy practice in England, Scotland and Wales
• The launch of 14 new RPS Regions to support local engagement for the whole membership. Find out how you can become a regional ambassador.
• A review of our member participation and communications. Respond to the survey and share your views.
• A look ahead to this year's RPS Annual Conference on 11 November, including our call for abstracts (closes 31 July).
• A discussion on issues around pharmacy governance and supervision, ahead of an expected Government consultation.
• The RPS EPB expressed support for PDA Safer Pharmacies Charter. All three boards would like RPS and PDA to work together to create a joint statement which reflects both the principles of the PDA Charter and RPS policies and professional standards on wellbeing and safety across all sectors of pharmacy.
