Don’t forget to vote

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I have just cast my vote online for the English Pharmacy Board Elections. I have voted for those pharmacists who I believe will represent the interests of individual pharmacist and not those of ‘Big Pharma’ – let’s take the Society back for the individual pharmacist!!!

After all, the multiples have the CCA and pharmacy owners large and small have the NPA and PSNC.

Vive le pharmacist!

NPA versus PDA

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

There’s an  interesting piece in the PJ this week about the differing views of the NPA and PDA over the  responsible pharmacists consultations and specifically the need to record a reason for the RP’s absence. Unsurprisingly the contractor dominated NPA want the RP to be able to leave the premises without ever having to record a reason while the PDA want a reason recording every time!

The NPA is an organisation which is primarily there to support pharmacy contractors businesses. The PDA is the voice of the profession not business and should be the one that prevails in this debate
