Inclusion and Diversity in the Pharmacy Profession
RPS Survey 2023
As a professional leadership body, we are committed to making inclusion and diversity central to the profession and celebrating and encouraging diverse voices across pharmacy for the benefit of all, in line with our inclusion and diversity strategy. In 2020, we launched our Inclusion and Diversity strategy, which we hope is leading the way in creating a sense of belonging in pharmacy.
This profession-wide survey aims to find out which inclusion and diversity factors matter most to you, whether these have changed since our first survey in 2019, and how far we have come in the past three years.
Your response will help us to identify areas for improvement in our existing strategy. You can help shape a future for pharmacy that is welcoming and representative of all voices, cultures, and experiences. The more people complete this survey, the more representative and reliable the output will be.
This survey should take 10–15 minutes to complete.
Please answer the questions as accurately and honestly as possible.
What data are being collected?
The survey collects data on the nine protected characteristics under the 2010 Equality Act (race, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital or civil partnership status, age, disability, pregnancy, and maternity/paternity status), as well as individual experiences and opinions on topics relating to inclusion and diversity within pharmacy.
Will it be anonymous?
Yes, this survey will be completely anonymous unless you voluntarily share your contact details at the end of the survey.
You will not be asked for your membership number or any other identifying information. The data we collect will not be linked to the personal data we hold for you as an RPS member and will not be passed to anyone else.
