ALT “Becoming a royal college isn’t just a title change—it’s about tangible benefits for all pharmacy professionals. Regardless of your heritage, where you work or what stage of your career you’re at, this will give us the authority to drive meaningful change, raise standards, and ensure pharmacy’s evolving role is fully recognised not just from within but for those outside as well.
This is a new dawn—a new beginning for pharmacy!"
